There were four Member questions, one from Mrs Kay Hammond and three from Mr Jonathan Essex. These and the responses were published as a supplement to the agenda.

There was no supplementary question from Mrs Hammond but she wanted, on behalf of her select committee, to pass on the gratitude for the support from all staff who were caring for the most vulnerable.

Mr Essex asked how the council would re-establish youth work and youth centres and highlighted the recent reports of large gatherings of young people.  The Cabinet Member for Children, Young People & Families responded that the youth team were eager to work with distancing measures and were looking at activities that could be undertaken.  Summer activities were being organised for vulnerable children that had missed out on schooling.  She also stated that large gatherings were a matter for the police who were trying to deal with it sensitively.

In relation to Mr Essex’s third question he asked for a further written response to part 2 of that question.  The Cabinet Member for Adults & Health undertook to provide this.
