Executive Lead for Involved and Healthy Communities and active user of Twitter, Cllr Alison Hernandez, said: "I am a huge fan of social media and use Twitter regularly to keep residents informed of council business so I was happy to be involved in this latest initiative.
"We cannot ignore the power of social media - after all on this occasion we managed to reach over 31,000 people in one day and at no cost to the council.
"I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the local media for their support and helping us to spread the word."

“I would not vote for any "councillor" who uses Council time to "tweet like bored teenagers - sad people.”
