Schedule of Classes

Each class contains a range of information from various different sources. In some cases a class of information sets out a range of information which is excluded from publication. Excluded throughout the Scheme is information relating to private individuals by virtue of it being personal data under the Data Protection Act 1998 together with general correspondence sent or received by the Council.

The Reuse of Public Sector Information

The Government has passed a law governing the re-use of public sector information (Statutory Instrument 2005 No 1515, The Re-Use of Public Information Regulations 2005), here referred to as 'the Regulations'. The Regulations came into effect on 1 July 2005. They encourage the re-use of public sector information - that is in this instance, information for which the Council holds the copyright.
