The Freedom of Information Act

The Freedom of Information Act came into force at the beginning of 2005 and encourages greater openness and transparency across the whole public sector. The Act obliges every public authority to adopt an approved Publication Scheme. The intention of a Publication Scheme is to require authorities to make certain kinds of information routinely available to the public.

The Parish Council has adopted the standard Scheme approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office appropriate for parish councils.
