Floral Pavilion COUNCILLORS in Wirral are furious with the Government for refusing to allow them to continue online meetings. Since the start of the pandemic, councils across the country have met virtually through the internet to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19. However, the legislation in place to allow this to happen expired last week and as the Government has said it is not possible to extend it, all councils must now meet in person. This has angered many councillors in Wirral, where meetings will be held at New Brighton s Floral Pavilion from next week, rather than the usual location of Wallasey Town Hall, as it is thought the Floral is better for social distancing.
