North East Lincolnshire Council’s Full Council meeting, due to be held on Thursday (March 19), has been cancelled due to concerns about the COVID-19.
Chief executive of the council, Rob Walsh, said the decision had been taken following discussions with council leader Philip Jackson. He added: “Given the prevailing concerns regarding COVID-19 and the likely heightened response that will follow in the coming days, the leader of the council has agreed with my recommendation that this week’s meeting of Full Council should be postponed.
“We will also be reviewing the position regarding other council public meetings in the immediate future, in line with any on-going guidance and recommendations from Government.’’
