In line with the Special Urgency provisions set out in paragraph 16.4 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules within the Constitution, on 17 November 2020 Councillor Peter Lamb, as Leader of the Council, approved the following under delegated powers:
Special Urgency was used for this decision as it had been impracticable to publish a Forthcoming Decision Notice for the 28 clear days period and to publish the report for five clear working days. The Chair of the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Commission has agreed the use of the Special Urgency.
Protected from Call-In – In line with Call-In Procedure Rule 8 the Chief Executive has protected these decisions from Call-In due to their urgent nature. This is so the Council can start supporting its businesses as soon as possible.
