Facebook Comments

We use a range of channels – including our website, newsletters, and social media – to share updates about council services, decisions, and emergencies. These platforms help us keep residents informed and support transparency and accountability.

While we welcome feedback, we don’t enable public commenting on all our Facebook posts. This is partly due to the resources required to monitor and respond to comments, and to ensure that conversations remain respectful, accurate, and constructive.

In recent times, we’ve seen a rise in misinformation and harmful content from a small but vocal minority. This can undermine the purpose of our communications and negatively affect the experience for other users. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to moderate every comment or remove inappropriate replies across all posts.

That’s why we’ve chosen to turn off comments on some Facebook content. We continue to allow comments on certain posts – such as during emergencies or on key topics like devolution.

We offer a variety of other ways for people to have their say, including surveys, customer forms, attendance at public meetings, and conversations with ward councillors. These channels are better resourced to handle feedback and enquiries effectively.

We’ll keep our approach under review. If you have a question or would like to share feedback, please visit our contact us page.
