Hastings Borough Council is looking for a new communications
manager to replace Graham Capper who has left to become a press officer
at the Department of Trade and Industry. With a budget of over pounds
30,000 the new appointee will handle all external relations, as well as
the council’s newsletter. The role reports to Tony Constantine, head of
regeneration and tourism development. The new communications manager
will be responsible for carrying out an audit of the council’s PR
activities. Marketing manager Kevin Boorman is currently caretaking
communications. He said: ’The issue now is talking up the council as
well as talking up the town. It has not been as clear as it might be
what the council is doing.’
