The Government has issued the regulations that will give local authorities greater flexibility in the conduct of meetings, including allowing members to attend remotely, and for public and press access to those meetings. They will come into force on 4 April. They apply to local authority meetings and police and crime panel meetings that are required to be held, or held, before 7 May 2021.
