Council News
We are 'constantly in the news' sometimes for things that we are proud of and sometimes because things have gone wrong. Regardless of the circumstances we are committed to open, honest and effective communication. To that end we have created a brand new 'News' section which provides all the latest council news and provides customers with the facility to comment on issues. Visit our dedicated news site www.charnwoodnews.net and tell us what you think.
Listed below are all the press releases we send out to local, regional and national media, these are also available to view on our dedicated Charnwood News website detailed above.
If you have a query about any of the news stories posted here or have a media related enquiry, please contact the Communications Team.
