About the Transparency and Model Publication Scheme
As a public body spending taxpayers’ money, we strive to be open and accountable in the way we operate. Our website holds lots of information about the council and the services we provide. This section is intended to make it easier to find information that you may be looking for and which we are required to publish.
The Transparency Code 2015
Under the transparency Code we must publish several defined data sets which are available in the related pages listed on the right or the links below. Please click the link to take you to the relevant information.

The Publication Scheme
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 places an obligation on the council to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme. We adopted the Model Publication Scheme, approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office, which represents a commitment by us to make information available to the public.
If you cannot find the information you want in our Publication Scheme or on our website, for example in our transparency code information, please contact us for details of how you can obtain the information. Alternatively, you can submit a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004
