Twitter

Twitter is a social networking service which enables users to send short messages, called tweets, and read those from other users. You can post messages from the website, from another piece of software such as Tweetdeck or by sending text messages from your mobile phone (at the standard text message charge).

You can view messages from people you are following in the same way including choosing whose updates you want to receive to your mobile phone.

What are we tweeting about?

Our profile carries updates and links to our latest news, events, consultations and other information. We will also publish urgent messages through Twitter as well as through this website and other methods, where appropriate.

You can also talk informally to us on Twitter. Tell us about living, working or visiting Derbyshire or let us know what you think of the information we are tweeting about.

If you have an enquiry about a service or a complaint then please use the Contact Us page on this website to choose how to get in touch with us.

How to find us

You can find us at http://twitter.com/Derbyshirecc (opens in a new window). You will need to be a member of Twitter (a free service) and then use the follow button on our profile to see our updates.
