Did you know that you can now view WSCC meetings on line? The County Council’s recorded webcasts of its meetings will be available to access for three months from the meeting date. They are fully indexed to give you direct access to specific agenda items.

To access the webcasts you will need:

• a media player such as Windows Media on your PC, which should load automatically when you click on the link;
• an active broadband connection; and
• a sound card

        From the West Sussex County Council website homepage (www.westsussex.gov.uk) click on “Your Council” and then on “Meetings and Decisions”.

In the new window under “Full Council Meetings” click on “Webcasts of Council meetings” and then on the phrase “archived webcasts online” in “You can access archived webcasts online”.

This will take you to the “talk with us” page where webcasts of meetings available for viewing are listed in the “What’s On” box. When you click on a specific meeting (such as “Full Council 24^th July 2009”) you will be directed to the webcast for that meeting. You could then watch all 4 hours of the meeting or, alternatively, use the “Index Points” to access specific portions of it. The “Speakers” section enables you to view all the Council members who spoke at that meeting.
