Policies and Procedures
Freedom of Information . The Freedom of Information Act 2000 required all parish councils to adopt a Publication Scheme to be approved by the Information Commissioner. The publication scheme sets out the types of information that the Parish Council will make available as a matter of normal business routine, much of this information will be shown on this website. Information can be supplied in hard copy on request. Any information not on the website can be requested and supplied either electronically or in hard copy. For more detailed information on the Freedom of Information Act you can visit the ICO website at: www.ico.gov.uk
The Council has been advised that nationally, Freedom of Information requests from some enquirers are being blocked as spam. Normally, this should not happen to us, but to prevent your message being blocked, we would ask you to add "RPCFOIA" to the title line of your email and we can be sure of receiving it.
