Information Request Form

Instructions

Please complete this form if you want to obtain information from the Council. You have a right to access "recorded" information held by the Council. This covers information held in paper form or on computer such as copies of e-mails, handwritten notes and videos. It does not matter how old the information is. The Council must provide you with the information unless any exemptions apply.

Most requests for information will be free. However, the Council is allowed to charge a fee for answering some requests for information. If we plan to charge a fee, we will tell you what the fee will be before we provide the information. We will not provide the information until any fee is paid.

In order to help us find the information you want, please complete the appropriate part of this form as accurately as you can, giving as much detail about the information as possible. This will help us find the information you want as quickly as possible.
