Council tax communication
The council is now sending e-mails, SMS messages and voice messages to residents who have missed a council tax payment. See our webpage for more information.
The Royal Borough uses social media, including Twitter and Facebook, to communicate council news and information with residents, businesses and visitors.
These accounts are solely managed by council officers in the Communications Team, in line with the Council’s Social Media Policy and Guide.
We're here to help and we expect users to offer us the same level of courtesy that we offer them. We want our social media channels to be safe spaces and a place for healthy, open and insightful discussion and sharing of relevant information, which is why we have a short set of house rules.
We welcome positive engagement on the content we are publishing. If residents want to express their opinions on council services or council information we publish on social media, they are welcome to do so.
We try to respond to genuine questions on our social media profiles that are related to council business, but as council officers we do not (and cannot) get involved in political debate or respond to political questions, which should be directed to councillors. We will not tolerate or respond to abusive messages.
Where possible, we advise residents with customer service enquiries to approach our customer service team – call, email, or tweet @RBWMsupport for support – as officers looking after those channels have full access to customer accounts and details.
Sometimes the volume of questions on the same topic means that we will decide to not reply to residents individually on social media but will use their questions to help us create informative posts that will provide the answers to popular questions.
We would not remove or block comments unless they are expressed in a manner that is unpolite, offensive, discriminatory, or considered by the Communications Team to be inappropriate content. There are certain circumstances under which we may choose to ignore, delete, hide, or block comments and users.
