This Procedure will apply to the decision-making which was to have been dealt with via the meeting of the Combined Authority Board arranged for Wednesday 25 March 2020. Due to Government guidance on social distancing and the Covid-19 virus it will not be possible to hold a physical meeting of the Combined Authority Board as intended and until there is a change in the law to allow local government formal meetings to take place on-line without a physical meeting an alternative decisionmaking process is required.
Today we face an unexpected new future and, in many ways, we all have to face it alone.

A COVID-19 coordination hub has been launched across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to help those who are most affected by the Coronavirus outbreak. Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council are now calling on people across the county to get in touch if they can volunteer their time to help others in a co-ordinated effort which will offer safe support and reassurance county and city wide.
The intention is for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combine Authority to retain its responsibility for transparency and accountability.
