The Council is required to prepare and maintain a publication
scheme under section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act
2000.
A publication scheme is your guide to the types of information
that the Council makes available to the public. It also
includes the form in which the information can be obtained (i.e.
paper or electronic) and whether or not the Council will charge you
for providing the information.
