Associated Impacts of Cancellation of Leominster and Hereford Mayfairs 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak
Decision Maker: Director of Economy and Place (Historic)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The unprecedented significant impact of the
covid-19 outbreak is having ramifications across society and
notably the economy.
In line with the social distancing guidance, current government
advice is that large gatherings should not take place. While the
risks of transmitting the disease at mass gatherings are relatively
low, these steps will also allow emergency services that would have
been deployed for these events to be prioritised in alleviating
pressure on public services.
Council staff employed in the managing these fairs both in advance
of and whilst the fairs are in situ, can be redeployed elsewhere
within the organisation to assist with other vital services.
