To seek approval for the revised Communications Strategy 2024-2028

Members received a report on the refreshed Communications Strategy for 2024 to 2028. The following points were noted:

·         Ofcom research showed the preferred source for news was online for all age groups, although it was acknowledged that many people did not have access to the internet

·         Press releases were circulated to local publications across the borough but the frequency of these publications didn’t always coincide with the council’s timelines

·         A lot of consideration was given to accessibility of the website for people with disabilities, which was welcomed.

It was moved by Councillor Bray, seconded by Councillor Bools and

RESOLVED – the revised strategy be approved.
