I understand that all Brent councillors this afternoon received a warning from a senior Brent Council officer that given political sensitivities during the pre-election period, and to avoid complaint, they should bear in mind that community skips are part of a well-established operation programme and not an opportunity for political publicity or promotion.
The message acknowledged that councillors might want to be at these events but that this should not extend to using them for canvassing or promotional photographs on social media.
The communication followed Wembley Matters story published earlier today raising the danger of political promotion via the Brent Council official Twitter account.
