main content Freedom of Information Act

The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act applies to non-personal information held by a local authority.  Any individual may make a written request for information from us.

Details

When an individual or organisation makes a request, we must confirm or deny whether we have the information. This is known as the duty to confirm or deny. Unless the information requested falls into one of several categories of exempt information, we must supply what has been requested. Any member of the public has a right to ask for information. If we say you are not entitled to it, we then have to prove that you are not under an exclusion in the Act. If we refuse to provide some or all of the requested information on the grounds it is exempt, we will explain the reason for doing so.

Further Information

More details on access to official information are available on the Information Commissioner's website.
