Dacorum Borough Council will be deleting any posts on their social media that appears to show support for a political party or candidate involved in elections.

This will be in the run up to the local and parliamentary elections because during this period there is a ban in place, following the publicity code for Local Government, on publicising views that could be seen as unfairly promoting political viewpoints.

But throughout this time, known as Purdah, the council will continue to publish important service announcements using social media.
