Decision details

REQUESTED DECISION: To delegate to the Chief Executive the power to authorise officers to carry out enforcement functions set out in:-

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Collection of Contact Details etc and Related Requirements) Regulations 2020 No. 1005 (“the first set of regulations”)

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Self-Isolation) (England) Regulations 2020 No. 1045 (“the second set of regulations”), and

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 No.1200 (“the third set of regulations”),
AND in any regulations amending, adding or replacing the above or any regulations of similar or wider effect.


STATEMENT OF THE REASONS FOR THE REQUEST AND WHY IT IS URGENT:
The Regulations listed are newly introduced and require officers to be authorised to be able to use the powers granted. The matter is not able to be reported to a Committee within the timescales required by impending enforcement action.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications

Approved by Chief Executive

The powers are necessary in order to enforce the provisions of the current lockdown and so there is no alternative if the Council is to act in its role.
