The importance of the internet live stream should not be overlooked. This is the first time CCC has done this, finally dipping a toe in to the 21st century when it comes to engagement with citizens. During the webcast, one Councillor suggested that certain factions had resisted the introduction of the service. You have to wonder why. Anything that makes the workings of CCC more accessible, transparent and open to scrutiny must be very welcome. For me, the star of the afternoon was Dave Nellist who was one of the few Councillors to actually address the topic of cut-backs instead of grandstanding to score political points. See the replay at
