I think it would be an excellent idea to Webcast Council meetings.

Cashy, cynical, didn't know that was in your vocabulary mateinteresting to note the councillors on here seem happy to have this added, will be very interesting to see if proposed it sees the light of day, says cashys cynical side.
Don't know whether full council on line would be a good idea or not. In the old days of the Committee system, the committee's were very interesting as a spectator and full council was a bore to me, as it was just a rubber stamping job. However I haven't been to a meeting since the Cabinet system came in, whether full council is now more interesting I wouldn't know, but if anybody is interested in seeing how the council does work I can recommend a visit, maybe Planning still has some of the old values and its by far one of the most interesting parts of local legislation
I wouldnt bother Jaysay ... i was used to the old committee system as well used to enjoy some of the rossendale council meetings i used to go to. Just before christmas i went to a council meeting ... in fact it was a planning one .. and to me theyre terrible not like the old committee style meetings i was used to ... and i aint relishing going to the next one im going to next thursday either.
Twitter / Stuart Pike: #HBC Clare Pritchard asks ...
"Clare Pritchard asks if meetings could be filmed on web cam."
The wonders of mobile internet technology for checking Accyweb in the council chamber, or just a massive coincidence?
I had the pleasure of watching that question asked during Leader's Question Time from the public gallery as it was something I had brought up with Clare. At the mention of my name, Cllr Britcliffe gave an 'interesting' reaction so it's nice to know that my reputation preceded me.
The question wasn't actually answered in any definite way but if council meetings ever are webcast they will make gripping viewing. The cost would be ridiculously small so there really isn't a concrete excuse why not.
It was a jolly fun afternoon out, must do it again sometime.

You've still got yours, then? Mine went in the recycling bag as soon as it graced my doorstep.
Total waste of taxpayers' money, particularly when the splendid recycling calendar is not only of much higher quality but more informative and runs for two years.

If you've never been to the public gallery, I'd advise you to go next time there's a full council meeting. It's a real eye-opener.
I wonder if you'll be as staunchly true blue afterwards.
I've been before. If I'd have been dressed I'd have gone today. It's a shame I didn't go and get to meet you.
What was the reply then? I think somebody who supports it should just take a webcam.
Dont wonder that Ken! ya can't put sense where there is none.
