The Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive providing an update on the action taken by the Council in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and its approach to protect and support residents, local businesses, staff and the Borough in general.

Resolved:

That the action taken to date in response to the Covid-19 crisis, be noted.

Reasons for decision:

To ensure the Council has an opportunity to review action taken to date to tackle the Covid-19 crisis and to consider the appropriate approach to be taken to enable the Borough and Council to recover.

Other options:

The Council could choose not to outline its response to Covid-19.  However, that would mean failing to recognise the huge impact the crisis has had on the Borough, its people and the Council along with the Council’s approach to recovery.
