SPC’s June meeting, to be held at 7.15pm on 1st June 2021, will be in the Avon Room at Saltford Hall (entry/exit via the doors opposite the tennis courts, not the main door and lobby area).
SPC’s meetings – in line with all local council meetings – must take place face-to-face to be lawful (Coronavirus legislation allowing remote meetings ended on 07/05/21). As such SPC is not legally able to make decisions via remote or hybrid meetings, and must instead meet ‘in person’.
Although the meeting is open to the public, the Avon Room currently has limited capacity of 15. As such, SPC has looked to make the meeting as accessible as possible, in light of current legislation and restrictions. Residents who wish to watch but not participate in the meeting are encouraged to view the meeting remotely. It will be livestreamed on SPC’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SaltfordPC/live/ This will be the first time SPC will livestream a meeting, with thanks to the team at the Saltford Community Association who have recently purchased the equipment for the Avon Room to enable SPC to facilitate access in this way.
When meeting face-to-face at Saltford Hall, Saltford PC will abide by current government restrictions as well as the Special Terms and Conditions of Hire during COVID19, as set by Saltford Community Association. This includes obeying the condition that a maximum of 15 people can be in the Avon Room. SPC has a risk assessment for the meeting.
Due to the current number limitations, for the June 2021 meeting only, the Clerk will be able to read out comments from members of the public during Item 4 ‘Public Time’, instead of the member of the public attending the meeting to speak. Any comments need to be submitted to clerk@saltfordparishcouncil.gov.uk by 5pm on Tuesday 1 June, and may not be more than 400 words. Comments must relate to a specified agenda item.
