How to request information
All requests for information need to be in writing, including by fax and email, and must include:
- your name
- a correspondence address
- a clear description of the information you are requesting
We will strive to disclose as much information as possible, though some information may be exempt from disclosure. We will always inform you if an exemption applies and why. You do have a right of appeal against a decision.
After the council receives your request, we have 20 working days to respond to it. We will acknowledge your request within two working days and provide you with a date of when you can expect a reply. We can extend this time-limit by a reasonable period if the request is complicated and we need more time to consider the public-interest of the exemptions.
Details of your request will be kept for up to three years, in order to take account for any appeal procedures. Where possible we shall ensure the information we hold is anonymous when it is used for statistical purposes aimed at improving our services. Your details may be shared with those who are involved in answering your request, though they will not be made public.
