Caroline Russell publishes official diary, reminding Assembly Members of need for more transparency
Continuing to press a new bar for City Hall transparency, Green Group Leader Caroline Russell AM has published a public diary record showing her meetings with campaigners, lobbyists and other organisations from March to June 2024.
Today’s publication from Caroline Russell AM follows her February 2024 effort to win support from every Assembly Member to commit to make similar records from their diaries available to the public. [1]
While that motion only received support from two of her colleagues, Siân Berry AM and Zack Polanski AM, a similar practice has already been adopted by London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan. [2]
A copy of Caroline Russell AM’s public diary record for Q2 2024 can be found here.
