Reports and background Papers
Winter Events JMT briefing note - The report is not for publication by virtue of paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as the report contains exempt information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)
Reason for Decision

It is not considered possible to organise these two events in a Covid secure way under current Government guidance:

  • Compromising social distancing.
  • Putting pressure on the transport network.
  •  Putting pressure on emergency services.

Proceeding with organising the event would commit the Council to significant financial liabilities

Details of alternative options considered and rejected

Continue with organising the events in the hope that government guidance and pandemic conditions change to allow the events to proceed.

Delivering the events with some form of social distance intervention.

Neither of these two options are considered a responsible way forward.
