Braintree District Council official accounts
- Braintree District Council Facebook
- Braintree District Council X (formerly Twitter). X no longer verifies that accounts are who they say they are. A blue tick no longer demonstrates that the account you're looking at is legitimate - it only indicates that the account holder has paid to have a tick.
We are aware of two Facebook pages called ‘The Mayor of Braintree’ and 'The Lord of Witham'. These are parody/satire accounts. Braintree does not have a mayor and Witham does not have a Lord. We encourage residents to remain vigilant and not trust information from unofficial resources. For accurate and up-to-date information, please rely on our official channels.
To ensure that you can have faith that accounts which claim to be linked to Braintree District Council really are, we maintain a list of links to our accounts here. If you click the links you can be sure that the account really is who it says it is.
