Braintree District Council official accounts
We are aware of a Facebook page called ‘The Mayor of Braintree’. This is a parody/satire account. Braintree does not have a mayor.
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.
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.
