Council news
At Allerdale
Borough Council we are committed to informing residents,
stakeholders and the media, about our activities, initiatives,
policies and priorities.
News releases
One of the ways we can inform residents is through the news
releases that we issue to the media. All our news releases can be
accessed, free-of-charge, on the internet.
We aim to post every press release we produce on our website on
the same day it is issued to the press. We archive all our past
news releases and these are also available
online.
Media enquiries
The Council deals with approximately 500 enquiries from
journalists every year.
Our policy is for all non-political media enquiries to be routed
through the Communications Officer. This can be done by telephone,
email or online. A response will be
provided or journalists will be directed to the most appropriate
Council officer or councillor.
It is important that staff and members of Allerdale Borough
Council maintain strong, professional and honest links with the
media at all times. To help us achieve this aim we have media
protocols which give advice about how the Council will issue news
releases and deal with media enquiries and
interviews.
