I would encourage all East Renfrewshire Council Tax Payers/Residents to ask their Councillors that all these Committee meetings are Webcast and made available for viewing at their own convenience.

You should not have to sit in a Public Gallery at a date and time of the Councillors choosing.

You should be able to view these committee meetings at a time convenient to you.

In these modern times, openness and transparency, is the Democracy we should be embracing.

East Renfrewshire Council Tax Payers ARE NOT getting value for money from the Webcasting contract.

Currently only Full Council meetings are Webcast and retained.

The contract is renewed every June.
The Contract covers a minimum of 30 Hours per year.
The contract cost is £10,951.00 per year.
