Alan Kewley referred to the decision to transfer the venue of the next  meeting of the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority Transport Committee, on 29^th February 2016, from Barnsley to Sheffield, and to an informal meeting to be held at Sheffield Town Hall in the morning of that day, arranged by the Sheffield Bus Partnership, to allow more open discussion before the Transport Committee meets, and raised the following questions:-

(a)       Please can the above meeting arrangements for 29^th February 2016, be confirmed;

(b)       How will notice of the formal meeting be publicised in order to maximise awareness?; and

(c)        In the light of the fact that normal webcasting facilities may be lost, following the transfer of the venue from Barnsley to Sheffield, what are the future plans for webcasting facilities in Sheffield Town Hall?
