Councils have thrown themselves into the national #OurDay tweetathon today to spread the word about work done by local authorities.
This year is expected to be the biggest ever run of the Local Government Association (LGA) scheme, after more than 8,000 local government staff sent messages in 2014.
Even recently appointed LGA chair Mark Lloyd has already got involved, congratulating council employees on getting #OurDay trending nationally.
