Freedom of information
Can you refuse my FOI request?
If we decide to withhold some or all of the information you have asked for, we will let you know the reasons why. We will also explain what to do if you have complaint about how your request was handled.
In certain circumstances, the Council is not obliged to release information, and these are called exemptions. Information about this can be found in paragraph 2.14 of our Freedom of Information Policy
The Information Commissioners Office has further information on exemptions.
