Libel
Please take care not to make libellous statements. In law this means a statement that lowers the reputation of a person or organisation in the eyes of a reasonable person. By publishing such a statement we can both get into serious trouble. We will therefore take down any statement that could be deemed to be libellous.
Pre-Election Period
In the run up to an election - local or parliamentary - councils have to very careful not to do or say anything that could be seen in any way to support any political party or candidate. The period is known as the Pre-Election Period. We will continue to publish important service announcements using social media but may have to remove responses if they are overtly party political.
