Today is the start of the Pre election Rules on Publicity (PERP). These rules stay in place until the polls close on 27 August. During this time, we must follow the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity (2011). This helps us keep our social media channels politically neutral. While PERP is in place, we will remove all political comments. This includes comments about political parties, candidates, or political issues.

A short guide to publicity during the pre-election period This guide provides advice and guidance on the publicity restrictions that should be observed by local authorities during the pre-election period.
