Commencing from April 2017 the Council will be broadcasting ('webcasting') live coverage of most of its major meetings on this website. If you miss a meeting live, or would like to watch it again, there is a catch up facility in the Webcast Library. Recordings are normally available to view online within an hour of the end of the live meeting and are stored for a period of 12 months. 

Which meetings are webcast?

All of the following meetings are broadcast live:  

• Full Council,
• Finance and Contracts Committee
• Community Engagement Committee
• Children's and Adults' Care and Education Committee
• Strategic Housing and Planning Committee
• Environment and Sustainable Transport Committee
• Health & Wellbeing Board
• Health Overview Panel
• Development Control Committee  

Meetings of other Committees which may be of public interest will also be broadcast from time to time.

We regret that Neighbourhood Committees are not presently available to watch in this way because of the difficulties of setting up the cameras and other equipment at off site locations.

Confidential Information

The Council deals with as much business as possible in public session but occassionally it is neccesary to discuss confidential information in private.  When this happens live broadcasts will be temporarily suspended.

Viewing the Webcasts

You will find links on each webcast to the agenda and reports for the meeting that you are watching which will give you useful information about the issues that are being discussed. To watch the webcasts you will need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer. If you do not already have it you can download it here

When you watch recorded meetings in the archive you are able to jump to a specific point or speaker in the meeting using the timeline on the right hand side of the screen. Recent meetings and those coming soon are displayed on this page. Simply click on the title of the meeting that you wish to view. You will be able to set a notification reminder for future meetings. For older meetings follow the link on the panel above to the webcast library.

Feedback

You can submit comments and feedback about the webcasts themselves - for example if you experienced any technical issues watching them - using the feedback form provided on each webcast page.
