Data Protection and Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 received Royal Assent on 30 November 2000. It gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities, which includes the Council.

Any person who makes a request to the Council for information must be informed whether the Council holds that information and, subject to exemptions, supplied with that information.  Freedom of Information Request Statistics.
