Live broadcasts and recordings of meetings

To view a live broadcast of a council, cabinet and committee meeting, there will be a link to view the live broadcast under the ‘Media’ heading on each agenda page on our website. The link will be added to each agenda page following its publication and before the start of the meeting.

See the links above for the meetings/agendas you are interested in.

When you have selected the meeting you want to view live, click on the link under the 'Media' section. You will then be presented with two options:

• view using Microsoft Teams
• watch on the web instead

If you do not have Microsoft Teams installed, then select 'watch on the web instead'.

Occasionally, items on an agenda are not open to the press and public, whether that be in person or via the broadcast. In these circumstances the broadcast of the meeting will end.

Recording of a council, cabinet and committee meeting will be made available on our YouTube channel.

Meetings are available to view for a period of 180 days after the meeting. The decision to retain the recordings for 180 days was made by the council with effect from 9 July 2025. For all meetings broadcast before this date the retention period was 30 days. Recordings will be deleted at the end of their retention period.
