Social media

 

Publishing information about our services on social media websites like Facebook and Twitter is one of the many ways we communicate with Cambridge’s residents, workforce and visitors.

We will do our best to reply quickly to any questions you ask us on Facebook or Twitter, but if you have an urgent or complex enquiry you may wish to contact our customer service centre.

We welcome your comments but may remove any posts or comments that do not adhere to our guidelines, which are set out below.

Registration may be necessary for you to access the content we post on Facebook and Twitter. We have no control over how often Facebook and Twitter are available, and therefore cannot accept responsibility for any lack of service.

Our social media accounts

You can find us online at:

We also have a number of other accounts:

Liking and following

If you ‘like’ us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter we will not automatically follow or like you in return.

We will sometimes follow or like people or organisations that provide information that is relevant to our work, and will also try to lend our support to local and national campaigns that are relevant or connected to our services.

We may also need to like or follow an account in order to take part in conversations; just because we like or follow someone, it does not mean that we necessarily endorse them.

Monitoring and moderation

We will monitor your questions and comments to us on Facebook and Twitter during normal business hours.

We will always follow the rules and guidelines of social media websites. We reserve the right to remove any messages that break the rules of the relevant community.

Posts and comments on our Facebook pages should:

  • be civil, tasteful and relevant
  • not include content for which the poster does not own the copyright
  • not repeat the same message, or very similar messages, more than once (also called ‘spamming’)
  • not publicise personal information, either the poster’s own or somebody else’s
  • not advertise products or services
  • not be unlawful, harassing, libellous, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, or sexually or racially offensive
  • not promote political parties
