Malvern Hills District Council has made a commitment to allow re-use of its information to support commercial growth and the wider economy, wherever it is possible or reasonable to do so.
What is meant by re-use?
The use by a person of a document held by a public sector body, for a purpose other than the initial purpose within that public sector body's public task for which the document was produced.
