I understand that the weather is probably more challenging in Richmond, Pickering and other parts of North Yorkshire than, for example, in Richmond, London. However, there should be the possibility for councillors to undertake their duties in these circumstances, and I cannot understand why we are permitting ourselves to have that privilege and not extending the same privilege to them. I prefer the wording in Amendment 218, although I understand the similar desires being expressed in Amendments 219 and 220.
