£100,000 to launch Bolton Council TV

Voters will be able to watch Bolton councillors debate in the council chamber after it was agreed that cameras would be installed at a cost of £100,000.

Labour’s council leader rubbed-stamped the decision at his August meeting.

The cameras will record council meetings to improve “transparency” in council proceedings.

It will also cost £8,000 to keep them switched on for the six council meetings per year.

The meetings will be streamed on the Bolton Council website.
