I'm delighted to report that they did pick up on this and the candidates in one (maybe two) of our neighbouring wards are now being video interviewed. With a nice touch they interviewed the Lib Dem group together in a cafe.
Wouldn't it be great if we could get the whole borough done!
Sorry Andy. Didn't mean to tread on your toes. I was just going on what I read on your website. If you mentioned it to me when we met, it's completely gone from my mind, but congratulations on a great idea. ;o)
The sound was rubbish, the ambient noise from the room next door was far worse than we thought. Even after noodling with it we only got it to what you heard. We'll be doing the other ones in quieter places, but the group format was nice and I think it was good to see them as a team. You live and learn.
I think the more it's done, the more candidates will get comfortable with it ...and that's gotta be good for local people! It's great the way video actually shows something of the 'person' behind that name on your ballot paper
