To receive a verbal update on this event from Officers.

The Town Clerk advised members of the arrangements for the Christmas lights switch on which was organised by the Rotary Club and grant aided by the council.

It was reported that an approach had been made by the Rotary Club for the Town Council to accept liability for the event as there were concerns about reputational risk if a Covid outbreak was linked to it. Clarification was given that there were no financial implications. Members considered that as organisers of the event the Rotary Club should accept liability.

Resolved:

That, the request from the Rotary Club for the Town council to take liability for the Christmas lights switch on be refused.
