Filming and photography at Shropshire Council meetings

Shropshire Council has issued the following statement following the meeting of full Council on Thursday 14 May 2015.

“Members of the public are very welcome to attend Shropshire Council meetings, and we are happy for them to photograph and film at these meetings.

“However, we do ask that people attending Council meetings act in a calm and responsible manner. Unfortunately, due to disruptive behaviour by a small number of people at today’s meeting it was necessary to confiscate their cameras for the duration of the meeting.

“Our current policy is that photographs and footage taken at Council meetings should be for personal use only. However, we are currently reviewing this policy to ensure that it is consistent with the national guidance, and will make any necessary changes.”
