Council webcasting: more please
Cornwall Council is considering extending and expanding its webcasting operation, which launched as an experimental project in May to a generally favourable response. Officials now recommend continuing the scheme until April and expanding it to cover not only full council meetings, but meetings of the council's Cabinet as well. As a journalist who is not always able to escape the office to attend council meetings in person, I have to confess I really hope councillors vote the extra £12,000 needed to make this happen. The County Hall webcasting I have seen so far is of a very high standard and makes a real contribution to "transparency."
