Councils appeal ruling on 'town hall Pravdas'

摘要

Waltham Forest and Hackney LBCs will appeal after a judge backed Government attempts to stop them publishing a council newspaper every two weeks. Guidelines were introduced by then local government secretary, Eric Pickles, who hit out at what he called 'town hall Pravdas'. Local authorities have argued that allowing them to continue publishing fortnightly would save the £68m they spend to comply with mles that require them to publish statutory notices in a newspaper.
