Freedom of Information (FOI)requests received by Loxwood Parish Council
Freedom of Information Act
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 you have the right to access information held by the Parish Council.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) was passed on 30th November 2000.  It gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities.  It sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities.
The Act came into force in January 2005 and anyone wishing to exercise the right has to make a written request to the Parish Council.  If such a request is made, the Council is under obligation to inform that person whether or not the requested information exists and to supply access to the information, unless it is subject to an exemption.
Environmental Information Regulations 
Section 39 of the Freedom of Information Act exempts environmental information from being dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act and provides it should be dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) which also came into force on 1st January 2005.
