A number of local councillors in parishes near Bristol are considering resigning if virtual council meetings come to an end next month. Council meetings have been held remotely since emergency legislation was introduced last year to enable the business of local government to continue safely during the coronavirus pandemic. But physical council meetings are due to resume on May 7 after the Government said it did not have time to extend the legislation. A High Court is due to decide whether remote meetings can continue under existing legislation later this month. Councillors have been vocal in their opposition to returning to city halls, council offices and village halls in the middle of a pandemic, accusing the Government of double standards as MPs extended their own right to debate from home until June 21.
