A plea for kindness and thought

The Parish Council and the Launton Facebook pages may look like ‘faceless bureaucracies’ but behind these social media pages are people who have to filter out the, sometimes unpleasant or even aggressive, comments.

We use social media as a virtual noticeboard to keep the local community informed. However, if we continue to receive unpleasant remarks, we will consider disabling comments – please don’t ‘shoot the messenger’ – we’re only passing information on!

We do ask that, before you respond to a post, you think about who might be receiving the comments and how you would feel if you or a member of your family received them.

The Clerk also requests that villagers do not use her personal Facebook profile to contact her via Messenger. She is not employed 24/7, and deserves her time off too, so if you need to contact her, please use the Parish Council email address clerk@launton-pc.gov.uk.

Please be kind and respectful.
