Filming

Members, today’s meeting is open to being filmed.  I remind those filming that the right to film is limited to the duration of the meeting and recording must cease when I close the meeting. 

Filming or recording is not permitted if the effect would be to interrupt or disturb the proceedings or if it is intrusive of a specific individual or individuals.  If in my opinion this is occurring, it will not be permitted and I will ask you to stop.

Similarly, some members of the public attending the meeting may object to being filmed, photographed or recorded.  I will be making those attending the meeting today aware and will ask those filming, to respect their wishes, and will expect that these are complied with.

To elect a Leader of the Council for the remaining year. Following the election the Leader will announce membership of the Cabinet.

Following her election as Leader, Councillor Fielker informed the Council of her Cabinet and their Portfolio responsibilities.
