Westminster City Council is reviewing its public affairs account,
seven months after having handed it to The Communication Group (PR Week,
9 April).
The agency will report to senior policy manager Robert Grant, who was
appointed earlier this year. The council has included 10 agencies on a
longlist. In a new development, it is looking at handing its basic
monitoring brief to a single agency and establishing a roster of public
affairs firms to handle lobbying projects.
