It has come to our attention that a false Twitter account has been set up using the Council’s name and logo.
The account is spreading inaccurate rumours about the closure of pubs.
It was reported to Twitter as soon as we became aware of it.
One tweet has already been shared on Facebook and Twitter several hundred times about pubs closing which isn’t true.
The account is using the handle @BoroughBwD Our official Twitter account has the blue tick and the handle @blackburndarwen
Please can we ask you to help by not following or sharing information from this false account.
