Petition Transparency on how coucillors vote

More details

In the interest of transparency, the government should consider directing Local Authorities to reduce the number of councillors required to request a “Recorded Vote” to no more than three, while in the future Local Authorities organise themselves for the recording of all non-sensitive votes .
As in the 21st century with the technology available there is no valid reason why first and second tier councillors votes should not be electronically recorded and be available on the Council’s Web Site for the public.
