Result

The result of the vote was 46 councillors in favour of publication, 14 against, and two abstentions so in future all councillors’ individual votes will be published by the council.

Full motion

I have published the full motion on which councillors were voting in a separate article. The motion was amended during debate by the mover, Cllr Manning, so it did’t ask the Constitution and Ethics Committee to amend the constitution as only full council has the power to make such a change.

The motion covered live streaming as well as publishing votes; any councillor could have amended the motion, or proposed taking it in parts.
