Have you watched a web cast of a Council meeting? Viewing figures below

You can now watch council meetings live over the Internet or look back at old council meetings via the web cast website here (great if you are struggling to get to sleep): http://webcast.nl/readingboroughcouncil/#!/overview

I think the web casting of meetings has definitely made some councillors less rude (although there is still some way to go), and it makes the meetings more open to scrutiny and more democratic.

Have you watched a web cast yet? What do you think?
