National Lockdown

National lockdown rules currently apply in England and you must not leave your home unless necessary.

You can find more information about what you can and can't do on the government website.  

Elections - May 2021

Although the current view is that elections may go ahead, this is under review and as we have seen, things can change incredibly quickly during our current situation. It is therefore still uncertain as to whether elections will go ahead but HALC will keep Councils updated.

Council Meetings 

HALC, along with NALC and SLCC, strongly recommend meetings are held remotely for the foreseeable.  Although local council meetings are exempt from the Rule of 6, MHCLG also recommend meetings continue remotely.   Please see section 3d of the latest Government advice, found HERE.   If the Council has no alternative but to hold a face to face meeting, then please refer to the NALC checklist prior making arrangements for such a meeting.
