level80 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi, I recently wrote this blog post about possible changes to the filming of public meetings in my neck of the woods (Wirral).When the changes were made last year to filming of local council meetings by the Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations 2014 , these changes also applied to Hereford too. As I think my local Council has interpreted the law and new regulations incorrectly I'm keen to hear of how other councils reacted to the changes to see if any have such a bizarre interpretation of the guide and regulations as Wirral Council do. Did the local council in Hereford agree a policy or write any guidance on this matter (if so do you have a link)? Has anyone in Hereford tried to film a public meeting of their local council without problems?I'm keen to find out. Thanks in advice.
