The "Reading's Entertaining Autumn Awaits" press release from the Council's marketing department has been deemed offensive after triggering the Council's 'adult content' email filters and quarantined, resulting in Council employees being unable to read their own press releases.

Any organisations wishing to protect their staff from similar drivel are urged to update their own spam filters accordingly. More generic protection can be added by looking for the words 'lead councillor for'
