Open Data
We also publish a wide variety of data and information to meet the requirements of the Local Government Transparency Code 2015.
How to request additional information not covered by this scheme
The council includes as much information in the Publication Scheme as it can.
If the information is not already publicly available, you can submit a request for it on our Requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act page,
Your request should be made in writing and will be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
Re-use of Information
Public sector information means information that we as a council produces as part of our core role and functions (also known as Public Task). Information that is not held as part of our public task would not be covered by RPSI.
You may re-use any documents supplied for your own use, including for non-commercial research purposes. Documents may also be used for news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for example by publishing the documents or issuing copies to the public will require the permission of the copyright owner, where copyright exists. Such a request would be considered separately in accordance with the relevant Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 and is not automatic. Therefore no permission is implied in the re-use of these documents, until such a request for re-use has been made and agreed, subject to any appropriate conditions.
You may re-use any dataset provided, for example in response to an FOI request, (excluding logos) free of charge, in any format or medium, under the terms of the Open Government Licence v3.0. To view this licence, visit the National Archives website or email psi@nationalarchives.gsi.gov.uk. Where we have identified any third-party copyright information, you will need to obtain permission from the copyright holders concerned.
