Zoom or not to Zoom?
The government is asking parish councils if they think your councillors should be able to join in public meetings by video link. What do you think?
So if your councillor can't attend because of illness or family commitments, they'd be able to dial in to the meeting and still take part. And if they can't join by video, do you think they should be able to ask another councillor to vote on their behalf?
Visit our website to get the link to their survey. Consultation closes 19 December 2024.
