Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Yesterday, the Londonist carried a story about (finally) an attempt to curb Council propaganda:

Local councils could be banned from publishing their own newspapers more than four times a year under proposed new laws.

Communities secretary Eric Pickles issued guidelines in March 2011 under the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity, requesting that councils reduce their publishing activities. While some local authorities have complied, it goes without saying that a few have ignored the guidelines. Pickles told the BBC that such publications were a “process of self-aggrandisement and self-publicity”, adding that it was “not a public service, it’s propaganda”
