A councillor has slammed the “appalling” decision by Sefton Council not to live-stream its council meetings – claiming video technology could stop the “pantomime games” of councillors.
Sefton Liberal democrat deputy leader Cllr Leo Evans has asked Sefton Council to make its meetings viewable online – in keeping with other councils in Merseyside – since in-person meetings resumed after the pandemic.
His requests followed an earlier question put to council by Liberal Democrat leader Cllr John Pugh in 2019, where leaders said they would look into it with a view to implementing live streaming.
