Since Covid, CloudyIT has installed over 100 hybrid meeting systems for Town and Parish councils across the UK, helping them meet the challenges of modern governance. With potential legislative changes—such as allowing councillors to vote remotely—on the horizon, now is the time to adopt hybrid technology that improves accessibility, inclusivity, and transparency.

Why Hybrid Meetings? 

Hybrid meetings aren’t just convenient—they’re essential. They enable councillors, officers, and the public to participate seamlessly, whether attending in person or remotely. This flexibility removes barriers such as travel, mobility issues, and scheduling conflicts, ensuring better attendance and more effective decision-making.

Hybrid meetings also promote transparency. Councils can livestream proceedings or allow public attendance through platforms like Zoom or YouTube, helping to strengthen public engagement and trust.
