Hillingdon Council has launched a WhatsApp channel to send residents news, updates and important alerts making it easier for them to stay informed.
Following the channel is quick and easy to do:
* download the WhatsApp app on your smartphone
* open WhatsApp and click on the ‘Updates’ icon
* search for ‘Hillingdon Council’ and ‘follow’
* remember to unmute the bell icon so you will be notified when there are new posts.
Cllr Ian Edwards, Leader of the Council, said: “The launch is part of the council’s continuing efforts to be more digitally enabled and create meaningful and efficient engagement with our communities.
“The new WhatsApp channel makes it even quicker and easier for the council to cascade news and important timely updates to our residents. Posting on WhatsApp allows residents to share information with their contacts – especially with anyone who isn’t using Facebook or other social media platforms”.
Alongside the new WhatsApp channel, you can follow Hillingdon Council on Facebook, Instagram, X and Nextdoor, and sign up to receive regular e-newsletters straight to your inbox on the latest news and events at www.hillingdon.gov.uk/enews>.
