Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives you the right to request recorded information held by public authorities.
This page explains what information we hold, how you can request it, and what to expect from us.
Information We Hold
We only hold a small amount of information necessary to carry out our council functions. This typically includes:
- Minutes and agendas of council meetings
- Policies, procedures, and reports
- Correspondence relating to council business
- Contact information shared with us through emails or letters
We do not collect or store personal data beyond what is required to respond to correspondence or carry out our statutory duties.
Publication Scheme
Under the FOI Act, we are required to adopt a “publication scheme” — a guide to information we routinely make available.
You can find most of this information on our website, including:
- Council meeting agendas and minutes
- Policies and procedures
If you cannot find what you are looking for online, please contact us using the details below.

Exemptions
Some information may be withheld under exemptions in the FOI Act — for example, personal data protected under data protection law, or information that would compromise confidentiality or security.
If any information is withheld, we will explain why and inform you of your right to appeal.
Data Protection
If you have contacted us by email or through our website, we will only use your information to respond to your enquiry.
We do not share personal data with third parties unless legally required to do so.
