Two new councillors are joining Pateley Bridge Town Council, to replace long-serving members Christine Skaife and Chris Hawkesworth, who retired earlier this year.
Following the co-option of Paul Anson and Neil Thompson, the Mayor, Cllr Mike Holt, said:
He added:
Limitations on gatherings caused by the coronavirus crisis have meant that the work of the council carries on via email and Zoom ans town clerk Sarah Adamson has been designated further powers to maintain day to day business.
Town and parish councils have limited powers but are consulted about, and can influence decisions on, a range of functions and services, from highways to social housing allocations.
Pateley Bridge Town Council is one of 76 town and parish councils within the Harrogate district and is in the civil parish of High and Low Bishopside.
Located within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the council covers a large rural area, bounded by the River Nidd and extending from the southern part of Wath to Brimham Rocks, taking in Glasshouses, Wilsill, Blazefield and Fellbeck, and up to Dallow Moor.
