Highland Council postpones meetings

The Highland Council has taken the decision to postpone all committee meetings and Member workshops due to take place in March and April.

Convener of The Highland Council Bill Lobban said: “The decision has been taken in response to the Prime Minister and First Minister’s announcements on Monday afternoon, and the guidelines that have been issued thereafter.  This will also free up key staff to focus on the Council’s emergency resilience response to Covid-19.”

He added: “The situation will be kept under constant review to ensure consistency with national guidelines.” 

The meetings affected are: 

18 March - Tourism Committee

19 March – Pensions Committee and Board

26 March - Audit and Scrutiny Committee

29th March - Waste Strategy Working Group

25th March - Crown Estate Funding Members Workshop
