The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) gives you the right to request information held by the council, subject to exemptions.
It doesn’t give you the right to council documents, records, or information on other people. This means that there will be times when only some parts of a document or record will be made available to you.
If you are seeking information about yourself, you already have the right of access under the Data Protection Act. Find out the categories of information the council is likely to collect.
