Brockton council to broadcast meetings

Brockton residents will be able to watch council meetings from the comfort of their own homes.

Town council voted in favour of an arrangement with Wightman Telecom Broadcasting to record and televise their meetings. The footage will then be made available online with closed captioning, so anyone with internet access will be able to stay up to date with council meetings.

Mayor Chris Peabody said it’s important the community has the opportunity to learn what goes on inside their chambers.

“In this day and age, people expect their councils and municipal leaders to be open and transparent. This will allow people to see what happens at council meetings," said Peabody.

The arrangement comes with no cost to Brockton.
