Petitions to the Council

There are different procedures in place to access information held under the legislation, and we work hard to meet our obligations.

• make a Freedom of Information or Environmental Information Regulations request
• to request information we hold about you, please go to our section on Making a subject access request

Occasionally, we are unable to supply information requested under the Acts. In many cases, this is because the information itself is exempt from publication or we may not hold the data. This can be for a variety of reasons. Where information is exempt, we will tell you why we are unable to supply it.

For further information about what information is exempt from publication, see the Information Commissioner's Office website.

A great deal of information about the work of the Council is published as part of our publication process. The publication process contains a wealth of information about:

• who we are and what we do
• what we spend and how we spend it
• how we make decisions
• our policies and procedures
• lists and registers
• services provided by the Council
