"Local government minister Bob Neill MP (Con) recently wrote to local authorities as follows:

"Bloggers, tweeters, residents with their own websites and users of Facebook and YouTube are increasingly a part of the modern world, blurring the lines between professional journalists and the public. There are recent stories about people being ejected from council meetings for blogging, tweeting or filming."

"But some councils have been slow to get the message. These notably include the famous Tory 'easyCouncil' of Barnet in north London."
