Communications Review Communications Review 2017 Quarter 2 July - September Executive Summary Q2 Communications overview The new Police and Crime Plan priorities provide a framework for communications activity in 2017. Media summary Website, news and features • This quarter we focused on quality rather than quantity work, because we have carried four vacancies in the team and gap whilst we recruited a fifth team member • We ran a 5 week burglary campaign over the summer to support operational policing; we managed all the ticketing for the Open Day, ran a high profile sexual assault campaign and have invested heavily in planning for Hate Crime Awareness Week • Having a reduced team has impacted on the number of articles on the website and therefore the number of views and referrals (- 10 articles from Q1) • Due to time pressures and an increase in demand for appeals, the Press Team has often put CCTV/picture-led appeals directly onto social media rather than the website (-33 news stories) Social media • Our reduced capacity as a team can also be seen in the decrease in Facebook posts issued. Although we issued 16% fewer posts, our engagement only fell by 14% and our link clicks by only 11%. This shows that our average engagement and link clicks per post is actually increasing • Our Facebook audience continues to increase (+5%) despite our slower output, showing that our content continues to be relevant and engaging • The Press Team are increasingly issuing appeals directly on Twitter rather than hosting them on the website as a news story. So despite the vacancies, the number of Tweets issued remains steady • We’ve also seen an increase in link clicks from Twitter, indicating that when a story is hosted on our website, Tweeting a link is more efficient than sending a press release • Our Instagram account is run by a team off officers from the Ops Training, Mounted, and Dog sections. One of these officers has been working in Sierra Leone and another is in the British Virgin Islands, with limited access to the internet. This may explain why they have posted less on Instagram this quarter Website Newsroom & Features 280 9 572k News stories Features page views -10 -29% -33 Social Media Referrals = 34% -15% Website overview • This quarter we have focused on quality rather than quantity because we have carried four vacancies in the team and gap Facebook referrals whilst we recruited a fifth team 189k sessions (-53%) member, due to HR timescales • Due to time pressures and an Twitter referrals increase in demand for appeals, 34k sessions (-8%) the Press Team has often put CCTV/picture-led appeals directly onto social media rather than the website • Having a reduced team has Top ten news stories Page Views impacted on the number of articles on the website and therefore the number of views and referrals • Seven out of ten of our highest- performing stories all related to the Portbury Hundred incident. This suggests we could explore hosting live feeds on our website which would make it easier to link to updates from social media and reduce the loss of traffic to online media Facebook 421 86,558 1,383,563 150,149 -16% +5% -14% -11% Posts Fans Engaged users Link clicks Top Posts Facebook overview • Our reduced capacity as a team this quarter can also be seen in the decrease in Facebook posts issued • However, although we issued 16% fewer posts, our engagement only fell by 14% and our link clicks by only 11%. This shows that our average engagement and link clicks per post is actually increasing • Our Facebook audience continues to increase, despite our slower output, showing that our content continues to be relevant and engaging • The top ten Facebook posts are all appeals or news updates. This reflects the fact that people are more trusting of news which has come directly from the Constabulary, rather than second-hand via the media Twitter 912 143,601 201,232 25k +1% +2% -9% +4% Posts Followers Engagement Link clicks Top tweets: Twitter overview • Twitter is the quickest channel available to issue news to key influencers including the media and sometimes eliminates the need to send out a press release • The Press Team are increasingly issuing appeals directly on social media rather than hosting them on the website as a news story • This explains why, despite the vacancies, the number of Tweets issued remains steady • We’ve also seen an increase in link clicks from Twitter, indicating that when a story is hosted on our website, Tweeting a link is more efficient than sending a press release • Continuing a trend, our top Tweets are mostly misper appeals and updates on major road traffic incidents, apart from one high engagement Tweet which showed a picture of a man driving with a parrot on his shoulder Snapchat c575 5 9 Average story views Average story Average messages screenshots following a story + 0% +0% +0% Instagram 6,287 followers +162 29 total posts -21 4,305 total likes -39% 59 total comments -44% You Tube 4 1 1,023 Video views Campaign/internal videos Appeal/update Videos Down Down Down 1 6 -95% Snapchat/Instagram/YouTube • Snapchat is our only youth-facing channel which we haven’t used this quarter because we haven’t had any campaigns targeting younger people • Our Instagram account is run by a team off officers from the Ops Training, Mounted, and Dog sections. One of these officers has been working in Sierra Leone and another is in the British Virgin Islands, with limited access to the internet. This may explain why they have posted less on Instagram this quarter • We continue to upload fewer videos to YouTube as video becomes more desirable on Facebook and Twitter Major Cases & Activity Major incidents on the M5 • Two major incidents declared on M5 between J15-14 northbound in the space of three days. The multiple fatal collision was the Most Read story on BBC online for • Press officer based in Silver throughout the single two days running. It was also one fatality collision on Thurs 14 Sept and throughout the of the lead stories on BBC News emergency response to the multiple fatal collision on 24 & national BBC One news on Sat 16 Sept. both days. It was covered online by every national newspaper. • We attended six Silver meetings out-of-hours on 16/17 Sept and issued a total of seven press releases over the weekend on our website and social media channels. We led the multi-agency response on behalf of four organisations. • 11 press releases were issued on the multiple fatal collision to date. Six were issued for the single fatality collision. Over the weekend of 16/17 Sept, our press releases were viewed more than 57,000 times on our website. One Facebook post resulted in 20,500 people clicking through to our website for information – and another reached more than 430,000 people. Binding • In the multiple fatal collision, we facilitated and organised officer interviews over two days. We challenged insensitive coverage – resulting in changes to stories online. • In both major incidents we worked with FLOs to release details of victims and provide tributes. Op Bream – the murder of Asiyah Harris • National and local media coverage of the murder of Asiyah Harris in St Paul’s, Bristol – with quotes from the SIO and details of our reassurance patrols appearing in the Daily Mirror, Daily Mail and The Sun. • We worked directly with the IPCC press office and liaised directly with key community leaders via a dedicated officer, to ensure they were kept fully updated on what we were releasing. • Our communications approach helped to reduce community tension and kept the public informed on the progress of our investigation, right up to the charging of Adan Dahir and his first appearance in court. Clifton robbery caught on camera Members of the public filmed the incident • TV, online and newspaper coverage of a robbery in Clifton Village in which more than £1m of jewellery was taken. • Our first press release was issued on website/social media within an hour of the incident happening. • We worked with Bristol Investigations through out on our media approach – releasing images of the stolen jewellery (out of hours) and key details of the vehicles used in this offence, to generate further witnesses. Op Bamboo – tragic death of Kyle Clark Full media plan prepared for trial • A full tactical media communications plan produced for the trial of Shakrul Islam who was charged with the manslaughter of Kyle Clark – due to the likelihood of Kyle’s mother Helen Stockford being critical of the police investigation. • Decision taken with SIO and D/Supt Ash Davenport to do embargoed interviews in advance at KSH – these were offered to select media – BBC Points West, Bristol Post and ITV W/Country – and a full Q&A briefing document was prepared in advance. • During the trial we released an edited version of CCTV showing the incident at the patrol forecourt in Hartcliffe leading up to Kyle’s death. This was shown to Kyle’s family in advance. Binding • Following the conviction, a pre-approved joint press release with the CPS was issued on our website and to the media, along with a custody image of Islam. • Kyle’s mum issued a statement to media critical of the police investigation and stating her belief that Islam should have been cleared as she didn’t feel he was responsible for killing her son. • In full liaison with the SIO and PSD, we issued responses to BBC, ITV and Bristol Post confirming we were aware of concerns from Kyle’s family.

  • Agenda Item No: 10(B)
    Agenda Item No: 10(b) BEDMINSTER TOWN TEAM ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2015 From the Chair of Bedminster Town Team Welcome to our second annual report of the BID The BID is the funding arm for Town Team activities, generated via a small levy on all eligible businesses in the area (equivalent to 1.5% of rateable value) and paid into a central ‘kitty’ to be spent on projects that benefit Bedminster businesses. Our vision remains to: Exploit and eventually explode the gap between art, advertising and entertainment, high street retailing and real estate development’ drawing on some of the lessons of Shoreditch which has reinvented itself as the UK government’s vision for the ‘largest concentration of creativity, media and technology in Europe’. This frames our priorities: • Create vibrant streets that excite and delight • Market and promote Bedminster • Reduce crime and improve the shopping environment • Advocate and lobby for Bedminster business interests • Drive down costs through joint purchasing Our numerous projects over this past twelve months have all emerged from this vision and priorities and we are delighted to see our efforts bear fruit with a continued low level of shop vacancies, some wonderful new openings – particularly on lower North Street – and announcement of major new residential developments that will provide a huge boost to trading on East St and Bedminster Parade. As you will know, the BID generates £85,000 BID income and the question of how this should be spent in Year 3 will be decided upon in open meetings for businesses on East Street, North Street and West Street throughout the summer – please do look out for these meetings (see below) and bring us your biggest and best ideas or drop us an email or give us a call – contact details on reverse.

  • Register of Journalists' Interests
    REGISTER OF JOURNALISTS’ INTERESTS (As at 14 June 2019) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register Pursuant to a Resolution made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985, holders of photo- identity passes as lobby journalists accredited to the Parliamentary Press Gallery or for parliamentary broadcasting are required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £795 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass.’ Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a journalist is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards.

  • Economic Activity Draft 1.0
    VCH Glos Cheltenham post-1945 – Economic Activity Draft 1.0 Economic Activity Jan Broadway In the immediate post-war period the economic strategy of Gloucestershire County Council was guided by the aims of safeguarding the aircraft industry workforce and encouraging the provision of jobs in the smaller towns and the Forest of Dean. There was consequently little provision for industrial development in Cheltenham, where the arrival of GCHQ, UCCA and Eagle Star increased the proportion of white-collar employment. There was also an emphasis on the town's development as a retail and tourism hub. At the end of the 20th century 28% of the town's economic output derived from the financial and business sectors, 20% from public administration, 18% from manufacturing, and 20% from distribution, hotels and catering. Its particular strengths were in tourism, shopping, education, construction and manufacturing.1 Manufacturing In 1946 a report by the county's former chief planning officer foresaw Cheltenham's future development as 'an industrial centre of no small importance'.2 However, as a result of its failure to acquire county borough status3, Cheltenham was obliged to follow the G.C.C. moratorium on new industrial development within the town.4 A 1947 survey of small, local firms found a majority in favour of moving to purpose-built, out-of-town facilities5, which of necessity would predominantly be built beyond the borough boundaries. In response to this the council purchased land across the borough border at the Runnings, Swindon for factory development.6

PREFACE. " TTTHEN in 1899 I published the Bristol Royal Mail," I scarcely supposed that it would be practicable to gather further historical facts of local interest sufficient to admit of the com- pilation of a companion book to that work. Such, however, has been the case, and much additional information has been procured as regards the Mail Services of the District. Perhaps, after all, that is not surprising as Bristol is a very ancient city, and was once the second place of importance in the kingdom, with necessary constant mail communication with London, the seat of Government. I am, therefore, enabled to introduce to notice " The King's Post," with the hope that it will vii: viii.
