“Council is committed to the highest possible standards of openness, transparency and accountability in its decision taking processes and the delivery of public services.
Council believes that live streaming of Council meetings will be of benefit to residents, keep them informed of issues that affect their community and greatly enhance the accountability of decision taking.
The availability of recordings will make a significant contribution to enhancing accessibility to Council meetings for those who would have difficulty in attending in person. Reaching a broader audience will assist in educating members of the public regarding the purpose and operation of Council meetings.
The more we can engage with and involve members of the public in civic life the greater we enhance the process of local democracy.
Council therefore resolves to provide, as a matter of urgency, a starting date for live streaming of all Council meetings and proceedings.”
