Historic Halifax Minster to play host once again to full council meeting
and live on Freeview channel 276
Having held May’s Annual Council and Mayor-making at the 900-year old church as it allows space for social distancing – the council chamber at Halifax Town Hall is tightly-packed – councillors return there on Wednesday, July 21 (6pm), and the meeting will be live streamed via the council’s YouTube channel, it says.
Anyone who is attending in person, including member and officers, will need to wear a face covering, social distance and take a COVID lateral flow test before the meeting, the latter to be confirmed with the council’s Democratic Services team before the meeting.

The July 21 meeting follows the more usual format, including an hour-long segment when councillors are allowed to ask questions of Cabinet members on a whole range of topics.
