Only Full Council meetings, held six times a year, will now be broadcast live.
A council officer, speaking at the meeting of the Budget Cabinet yesterday (25 October), denied that this was part of a cost-cutting exercise, but confirmed the live broadcasts would cease with the exception of Full Council meetings.

Since COVID19 took effect in March 2020, most council meetings have been broadcast live on a variety of mediums including Zoom, MS Teams and YouTube, or have been made available shortly afterwards.
The next Full Council meeting of Peterborough City Council is on Wednesday, 10 November 2021, and can be watched live on the councils’ YouTube channel.
