Media and Publicity Protocols
Access to services
To the Council, news and information is key to local people
being able to access the full range of services, which their
Council Tax pays for.
The Council's press office - part of the Communications &
Marketing - provides that information on a daily basis.
The press plays a vital role in the process, by enabling Council
information to be shared across the community through
newspapers, radio and TV.
But its not all about the Media.
Communications & Marketing provides a joined up approach to
providing news and information, so it is properly accessible to
everyone. As such it deals with information through a range of
outlets, such as the website, Council News,
roadshows, leaflets, pamphlets and publications like the
Council A-Z, and residents Welcome Pack.
It ensures news and information is available in a range of
formats, including large print and braille, electronically, in hard
copy, and in various community languages. It also make sure
services are aligned with local people's needs.
Find out the latest news and
information, via the Press & Media Centre.
