Haringey Council (in north London) started using Twitter in the guise of @LBHaringey on 21 March. Between then and 27 March, 15 tweets were sent, albeit mostly simply news feed updates regarding the council website. And in the two months since then? Nothing.
Perhaps Haringey has experimented and decided not to continue? But in that case, you should either remove it from public view or post a final “thanks and this is why we’re stopping” message.
As it is, what’s left up there just looks bad, giving the impression of tried something out, got bored, given up. I doubt that’s anywhere on their list of key messages to give out…

This came to our attention too and is not something initiated by the council. We raised this with Twitter and are awaiting a response. Meanwhile, like many boroughs we are looking at how we can best use web 2.0 tools like Twitter to engage with our residents.

Thanks for taking the time to make that clarification Mike. Good luck with Twitter.
