Social media rules

The use of social media - filming, photographing or recording in formal meetings which are open to the public - is permitted for members of the public, press and councillors, so long as this does not cause any disruption or disturbance. The Chairman's decision on this point will be final. To minimise disruption to others attending the meeting, all attendees including councillors, must ensure that their phone or other mobile devices are set to silent mode during the meeting.
