Marlborough considers forming emergency committee
An emergency committee will be formed in Marlborough in case councillor numbers are crippled by coronavirus during the nationwide lockdown, with the chief executive given power in the worst case scenario.
A report will be presented to the full council on Thursday which, if approved, will hand over decision making to a three-person committee if the council did not have the minimum of seven councillors needed to make decisions, required under the Local Government Act.
