To receive the report of the Venue & Events Officer.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Venue & Events Officer concerning Remembrance Sunday.

Feedback had been received following last year’s event, the first run by the Town Council with Covid-19 circulating so this year presented a new challenge. After discussion on potential arrangements, it was agreed information should be sought from other local Parish & Town Council’s on their events. Following that, a final decision on how to proceed could be established via a small task and finish group.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the Town Clerk contacts other local town councils to understand their plans for the service of remembrance and,

3.      That, this information be passed to a small task and finish group of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Leader to formulate a plan for the day and,

4.      That, once finalised, the running order and arrangements be communicated to all relevant groups and parties at the earliest opportunity and,

5.      That, 1000 service sheets are printed in 2022 and that recycling points are advertised at the end of the service and,

6.      That, the purchase of 30 crowd control barriers be agreed and,

7.      That, local event traffic management training for town council staff be agreed.
