Press Office

Welcome to the on-line press office, where you can keep up to speed with all the latest news and views from Chester City Council.

As well as viewing press releases and the latest edition of Chester News (the city council's magazine for local residents), you can contact us with a query using the media enquiries  or, alternatively, telephone us on 01244 402362 or 01244 402169.

We have a  dedicated team of press officers ready to deal with a range of media enquiries.

As part of their responsibilities, the press officers:

• are responsible for maintaining good relations with the media
• issue regular press releases, arrange press conferences and press briefings, and use personal contacts to achieve better and more consistent coverage
• identify and notify the media of photo opportunities

The press officers are fully aware of the tight deadlines many journalists work to and endeavour to get an answer to any enquiry as soon as possible.
