P-04-331 Filming and Recording of Council Meetings
Minutes:
The Committee discussed oral evidence received from the Minister for Local Government and Communities. The Committee agreed that the filming of council meetings should be a decision for each local authority and that, although it should be encouraged, the Minister should not require local authorities to film meetings.
Given the Minister’s statements that he is sympathetic to the idea of a structured process for local authorities to stream their meetings but that he has no intention of requiring councils to do this, the Committee agreed to close the petition.
