The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges parish councils to provide information through a Publication Scheme and in response to requests made by members of the public. Our council has adopted a model scheme published by the Information Commissioners Office.
Any request for information that includes the name and full contact details of the member of the public requesting the information and contains details of the information required, is deemed to be a valid request under the Act.
A request can be made in writing by email or letter and once a request has been received, the council has 20 working days in which to respond. If a fee is to be paid the response time is put on hold when a fees notice is issued until the payment is received. If no payment is received after three months it is assumed the information is no longer required.
Full details of the model scheme are available on the website of the Information Commisioner's Office: www.ico.gov.uk
