Publication Scheme
What is a ‘Publication Scheme’?
The publication scheme commits an authority to make information available as part of its normal business activities. The Council has adopted the Information Commissioners Office model publication scheme. This is a set of definition documents that a public authority should make routinely available.
What if the information is not available from the Publication Scheme?
The Local Government Transparency Code 2015 sets out the minimum data that local authorities should be publishing, the frequency it should be published and how it should be published.
