Terms and conditions of participation

The Local Urban Room is an open and inclusive space, created with the community to be enjoyed by everyone. We do not tolerate any content which is discriminatory in nature, which engages in racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or which prejudices based on ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender presentation, ability, class or asylum status. Any content deemed to be offensive, demeaning or discriminatory in nature will not be approved and may be reported to the authorities.

We want the Local Urban Room to be a safe and secure place for everyone to enjoy, so there may be a slight delay while we check your submission. We aim to make all submissions live within 48 hours, but long form articles (such as those submitted to 'Join the discussion') may take a little longer.

By uploading original files to any Local Urban Room website, you confirm that you are the copyright owner or have permission to upload the files from the original copyright owner, or that the content is in free circulation and openly available to the public.

Please be aware that by providing your name on any comment, pin or article submission form, you give us permission to show your name alongside your submission on the Local Urban Room website to which you submitted. You have the option to submit anonymously if you prefer.

If you upload multiple, similar versions of the same content, we may choose to only upload one or two of your submissions.

We may move your submission to a different or additional website section, if we feel it is better suited there.

By sharing your content in any Local Urban Room, you also give us permission to share it on Local Urban Room social media accounts or affiliated partner accounts as a means to promote and share the website experience with our communities.

Please do not upload content which directly features people without their consent.

Please do not upload any content that could put you or others at risk of harm.

Please do not upload imagery which depicts children or anyone under the age of 18. (Unless it’s you or you have permission from the child and your/their parent/guardian/carer.)

If you are under 18 years of age you must obtain consent from your parent/carer/guardian to submit content to this site. By submitting or uploading content to any Local Urban Room, you confirm that you have the permission of your parent or guardian to do so.
