Alliance Calls On Councils To Broadcast Meetings Online
All local councils should broadcast meetings online and make minutes and audio recordings freely available to the public, Alliance Torrent candidate Simon Graham has said.
Mr Graham said that the upcoming election is a chance for the electorate to quiz parties on their record on transparency in local government, with a number of Councils having seen issues around financial carve-ups and unwillingness to broadcast meetings to the public.
He continued: "Alliance Councillors want to deliver better value for money for all ratepayers across Northern Ireland.
"Part of that is ensuring decision-making is as open and transparent as possible, particularly at local government level, where we have seen issues around carve-ups and questions raised as to the allocation of funds. Alliance has been vocal about the need to open up those processes so people can find out who is making decisions and where money is going.
"Alliance has also been at the forefront of ensuring greater openness and transparency in Councils across Northern Ireland, pushing for live webcasts, audio recordings and Council minutes to be made available online, and challenging financial carve-ups between other parties. Alliance Councillors will continue to do that in the new mandate.
"Faith in politics has never been lower. If we are to regain the public's trust, they need to have the ability to know what decisions are being made and who is making them. While other parties talk about transparency, Alliance's actions show we are actually committed to seeing it improved. I challenge others to follow our lead in removing secrecy in local politics."
