North Yorkshire Council supports remote attendance at meetings, seeing it as a way to cut down on travel time, costs, and emissions. However, they oppose proxy voting, insisting that council members should be present, either in person or remotely, to hear arguments before voting. The council also suggests that local authorities should have the freedom to choose their own remote meeting policies.
