Better access to council meetings

The public will be able to watch key council committee meetings online later this year.

Argyll and Bute Council will continue holding committee meetings virtually, as part of Covid safety measures, but it recently agreed to use digital software which allows streaming and recording of meetings as they take place.

Tests will now be carried out to address various issues. A report outlining progress will go to the June meeting.

The council will meanwhile make arrangements, using existing software, for audio recordings of key committee meetings, including policy and resources; community services; environment, and planning, as well as meetings of the full council, to be available on its website by May.
