TypeAgencyDate Range1991-1995DescriptionCorporate Communications was one of the units of the Corporate Services Division set up after the Council restructuring that came into effect on 9 September 1991. The unit covered corporate public relations and internal communications. Its functions included the collation of newspaper cuttings, the publication of staff newsletters such as Capitalk and City Action, media liaison and distribution of press releases, liaison with and management of information to the public and significant public institutions, development and management of co-ordinated internal communications, and the development of a long-term communications strategy including re-imaging of the Council. Corporate Communications was transferred to the Corporate Office under the new organisational structure set up after June 1995. The unit was restructured again in March 1998 and later renamed (Communications) and placed within the Communications and Governance Group, which in turn was disbanded in 1999. External communications was then placed under the direct control of the Chief Executive.
