Access to information

The Freedom of Information Act grants to members of the public rights of access to all kinds of recorded information held by a wide range of authorities. Information about the Act is available from the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/ .

The Act requires every public body to adopt and maintain a publication scheme. Middleton Parish Council has adopted the Information Commissioner's model Publication Scheme and this provides a comprehensive guide to the information we publish or otherwise make available.

The Parish Council aims to publish as much information as we can online. However, some items are only available in print. You should also be aware that the Council is entitled to withhold certain information.

You may use the form below to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act, or you can write to the Parish Clerk at the address below, we will reply within fourteen working days
