Labour Party activists have accused Tory-led Northumberland County Council of "blocking democracy" after they were prohibited from filming during the council's public question time.
It comes after members of the party attended a full council meeting at county hall last month to ask questions, posting a recording of proceedings on social media.
The council's filming protocol acknowledges that is required "by legislation" to allow any member of the public to take photographs as well as film and audio recordings proceedings.
