Council Leader launches new blog

Cllr Simon Blackburn, Leader of Blackpool Council, has launched his 'Leader's Blog'.

The blog will be updated regularly and the Leader will use the platform to talk about council policies and initiatives.

Comments can also be made on the blog, although these will be moderated and anything of an offensive, discriminatory or defamatory nature will not be published.

Cllr Blackburn's first post reads as follows:

"Firstly, welcome to the Leader’s Blog! You will be relieved to know that after my well publicised problems with Facebook earlier in the year, I’m not actually allowed to write on here directly – I have to email what I want to say to someone responsible, who vets it, and then posts it up as long as I haven’t said anything daft….

"It has taken a bit longer to get the blog up and running than I would have liked – which is entirely my fault. You will all have noticed that there have been some fairly big changes at the Town Hall end of the operation since the elections in May."
