Formal member meetings webcast
Webcasting is seen as a crucial part of open and accountable government and as a way of increasing the accessibility of the County Council and its processes and decision-making.
March 2021 performance
Due to the
continuing public health restrictions there is a requirement for all formal
member meetings to be webcast in order to qualify as valid meetings. This
means that in addition to the Council’s usual practice of webcasting all
meetings of the Cabinet, the full Council, the Planning and Rights of Way
Committee and all Scrutiny Committees, all other formal committee meetings also
continue to be webcast. We have remained above or near target all year.
The level of webcasting is affected by:
- The overall number of meetings (some meetings which would have been considered candidates for webcasting can be cancelled or postponed)
- Whether the items on an agenda are of significant interest to residents.
