Any person who makes a request to the Council for information must be informed whether the Council holds the information and, subject to exemptions, supplied with that information.

• by inspection at suitable premises by prior appointment on written request to the Clerk to the Council; and/or
• on the website (whichever is applicable)
• free of charge except the Council reserves the discretion to charge £25 where the research requirements have been extensive in relation to the Clerk’s allocated hours of work
• a charge will be made for the provision of copies of the documents/information listed (15p per A4 page, or equivalent)
• all written requests will, where practicable, be acknowledged within 3 days of their receipt (if the information cannot be provided within that timescale)

2. For information being provided by inspection at suitable premises by prior appointment:

·         Arrangements will be made for the inspection to be carried out within 10 working days of the receipt of the request
