Update from Cllr Mike Best (Somerset County Council) who then left the meeting to attend another.
Cllr Best reported that County Councillors were receiving weekly briefings from the Chief Executive on the Covid-19 situation in the County. A rise in the ‘R’ rate of infection was anticipated and South West County Councils had written to the Government to request certain travel restrictions to protect the region from incoming tourists (as experienced over the previous weekends). Cllr Best also reported that all local homeless people were currently housed in hotels and long term ways forward from this were being considered.
(Cllr Best left the meeting).
