"Sometimes councillors assume that putting webcasting or audio available of Council meetings [sic] will produce a negligible audience. This is because few members of the public usually attend Council meetings. However, Kirklees Council have notched up online viewing figures of 14,000, since they introduced it a year ago.That is the cumulative figure for lots of meetings, but it is still impressive.
"That represents some encouragement to the transparency agenda. If the webcasts are getting that many hits, then let's hope that Kirklees has a few armchair auditors sifting through the accounts."
Note: Despite being about to hand out £4-billion-pound contracts, the North London Waste Authority refuses to 'allow' recording of the public parts of its meetings.
