Communicating with the City

Social Media and the City

More and more citizens are turning to social media to discuss news and neighborhood issues. Sometimes conversation threads develop on those social media sites regarding a safety or service concern, and City staff often receive calls from residents who ask us why we don't respond to those social media posts or fix the issues discussed in the posts. The simple answer is: We cannot respond to what we don't see.

As an "agency" on Nextdoor.com, the City is only able to view comments that are posted in response to a City generated post. We cannot see any conversations or posts on neighborhood Nextdoor sites.Your neighborhood conversation threads remain private to those in your area. Additionally, there are many private Brighton Facebook pages where residents share their thoughts, ideas and experiences about Brighton issues. The City cannot see those posts, and it would not be appropriate for City staff to interject in private conversations among citizens.
