Freedom of information
Introduction
What is the Freedom of Information Act?
The Act requires all public authorities, including Councils, to be open with information. The Act gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by the Council. It sets out exemptions from that right and places various obligations upon the Council. The Act came into force in two stages. From February 2003 the Council adopted and maintained a Publication Scheme. From 1 January 2005 any person who makes a request to the Council for information must be informed whether the Council holds that information and, subject to certain exemptions, supplied with that information.
The Council produces a publication scheme, which outlines the information that can be made available. The council will add to the scheme proactively, and would be interested to hear about what information you would like to access.
The Council would like to hear from you with your suggestions and ideas for any other information that you think could be provided.
