The leader of Lichfield District Council says he remains committed to finding a way to ensure meetings will be streamed online in future.

A Lichfield District Council cabinet streamed online

The local authority has returned to in person sessions after switching to remote meetings during the pandemic.

A full council meeting last night (18th May) was unable to be streamed online after it had to be moved to another location for social distancing.

A previous report has suggested a £90,000 bill to allow sessions to be broadcast via the internet, although the local authority was able to stream the cabinet session last week.

Labour’s Cllr Diane Evans tabled a question to Cllr Doug Pullen, leader of Lichfield District Council, on the issue:

> “Will the leader please commit to the production of a report on broadcasting meetings in future at the council, which will include the costs involved?  
>  
> “He previously has said that this council will be transparent and the virtual meetings have allowed this to happen during the pandemic.  
>  
> “This has been successful and has attracted more members of the public to view proceedings.  
>  
> “It is therefore important this is allowed to continue, in order to comply with his statement.”  
>  
> Cllr Diane Evans

Cllr Pullen said the council was committed to finding a long-term solution.

> “I’m grateful that Cllr Evans shares my enthusiasm for both online meetings and the broadcasting of in-person meetings.  
>  
> “Cllr Evans will of course know that we are already broadcasting in-person meetings from the chamber, and we will certainly be looking at finding an even better, longer term solution for broadcasting our meetings.”
