New personal safety and social media guidance has been issued to councillors in Bury in the wake of the murder of MP David Amess.
New policies, including advice that councillors should screenshot unacceptable abuse they receive on their social media accounts, are set to be approved by the council this week.
The revised members safety policy was requested by Bury Council’s chief executive, Geoff Little, following the death of MP David Amess, who was killed during a meeting in his Essex constituency in October last year.
