The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) allow you to request information from public authorities so you have a better insight into the work we carry out on your behalf.
Information about yourself is treated differently and you can request this as part of your personal data rights under the Data Protection Act.
Before you make a request, please check to see if the information is already available in one of the following places:
- open data, which includes information on senior officer pay, car parking revenue and business rate accounts
- public registers, such as planning applications or licensing registers
- freedom of information publication scheme, which shows what information we routinely make available
- information request disclosure log, where we publish responses to previous information requests
