Freedom of Information
658 requests have been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act (Environmental Information Regulations) during the year 2016/17.
This figure has risen from 588 in 2015/16.
There continues to be a trend for requests originating from commercial organisations asking questions relating to council contracts; information pertaining to businesses and their payment of business rates; and topics of general news interest like the impact of changing legislation.

The service areas receiving the highest number of requests are Council Tax, Environmental Health and Planning. …”
