The City of York Council in North Yorkshire will broadcast four key committee meetings live on 2 and 3 March 2026 to help residents see how decisions are made. These webcasts allow people to watch discussions on licensing, council oversight, and major spending choices from their own homes in real time.
On Monday, 2 March 2026, the local authority will stream the Licensing and Regulatory Committee Sub-Committee at 10:00 am, followed by the Corporate Scrutiny Committee at 5:30 pm. On Tuesday, 3 March 2026, residents can watch a decision session for executive members at 10:00 am and the Executive meeting starting at 4:30 pm.
The broadcasts are hosted on the council’s official YouTube channel to encourage more people to take part in local democracy. These sessions follow a meeting on 12 February 2026, where the council approved a challenging budget for the 2026/27 financial year.
Viewers can use recordings and time-stamped links to find specific parts of the meeting that matter to them. This push for transparency comes as the council’s Chief Operating Officer, Ian Floyd, prepares to retire this spring after 17 years of service.
