FLINTSHIRE Council could have a Facebook page if Cabinet approves it at their meeting next week.
While the local authority does currently have an account on social media platform X (formally Twitter) they do not currently have a corporate account on Facebook.
A report ahd now looked into the benefits of creating an account to meet the council’s Digital Strategy and achieve other “key strategic plans” by way of communicating and engaging with customers across Flintshire.
The report said: “The Customer Service & Communications Team will launch and manage separate English and Welsh corporate Facebook accounts, posting simultaneously, to use for emergency communications, sharing key messages, good news stories, as well as consultation and engagement activities from across the organisation.”
