A town councillor has expressed his anger at the set up of hybrid meetings at the Civic Centre. Andrew Davis was not present at the start of the Town Development Committee meeting this week because he had received a notification that the meeting had been cancelled. However, the notification also included a rescheduling of the same meeting for the same time on the same day. The meeting was told that this had happened due to a technical issue with the online link to access the meeting.
Councillor Davis joined the meeting remotely but was told that he was not able to speak or vote. He chose to leave the virtual meeting and rushed to the Civic Centre to join his colleagues.
Before the end of the proceedings, he expressed his bafflement at why it was called a hybrid meeting if people online could only observe and not participate.
