North Yorkshire Council divided over face-to-face meetings

Carl Les. A DIVIDE has opened up over whether councils should be holding face-to-face meetings amid surging numbers of Covid infections. As North Yorkshire s top tier authority agreed to continue measures to enable it to hold all its meetings online, five out of the county s seven district and borough councils said they would stage all their meetings in council chambers. Many local authorities have expressed frustration after the government declined to extend the permission it gave during lockdown for decision-making council meetings to be held online, saying meetings should be held in person with appropriate social distancing measures. However, critics have accused the government of hypocrisy, highlighting how relatively empty the House of Commons continues to be during debates as MPs are allowed to join parliamentary discussions online.

Submitting. It’s also a major undertaking for North Yorkshire County Council which now has to prove that it can govern such a large area while dovetailing with the City of York Council which remains a stand-alone entity. Carl Les is the leader of North Yorkshire County Council. It helps that NYCC has a much-respected leader and chief executive in Carl Les and Richard Flinton respectively to spearhead this process over the next 18 months. But it will also require humility and a concerted effort to involve the very capable officials – and expertise – that exist within existing authorities, and also further afield, if this shake-up is to become the success that is intended. After all, this is a time when many will be concerned for their own jobs and futures.
