Use of social media

Following recent posts to social media Amport Parish Council has released the following statement

All decisions made by the Parish Council are done within legal guidelines and procedures by a quorum of Councillors and NOT by any one individual.

Amport Parish Council take very seriously abuse and harassment of its members, they will not tolerate ANY abuse or harassment of any staff or volunteers involved with their organisation and where necessary any details of abuse will be passed to the relevant authority. This could mean reporting matters to the police and even taking legal action to prevent further incidents.

A policy Tackling Online Abuse will be adopted by the Parish Council at its next meeting. The draft poliy can be read on the Parish Council website
