Request

  1. Do council have numbers of viewings of live streaming of meetings and can you provide these for the last 12 months or average viewing live and post the actual meetings?
  2. Do council have numbers of viewings to livestreaming of meetings post the actual meetings being held and can you provide this information or the average numbers of viewings over the last 12 months?

Response

  1. No as this is not information that is recorded or documented.
  2. The Council retains meeting broadcasts for 180 days after the date of the meeting on our YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/doverdc). The Council deletes the recordings at the end of 180 days (or closest working day after that time) and retains no information after that point. We therefore cannot provide the average number of viewings over the last 12 months as the recordings are not held for more than 180 days. The information on the number of views for each recording that is still on the YouTube Channel is publicly viewable. We do not record any information relating to average number of views from this information.
