A Welsh council banned reporters from live tweeting at a meeting this morning.

The ban by Wrexham County Borough Council was highlighted on Twitter by Daily Post editor Alison Gow, who told followers she was “angry and baffled” by the decision.

Gow suggested it was “undemocratic” to ban tweets from the meeting – held to discuss a rise in school bus service fares in the area – given that some local authorities now regularly live stream council meetings.
