Freedom of information
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives every person the right to access information recorded and held by local councils subject to certain conditions and exemptions.
The intention of the Act is to provide a culture of greater openness and accountability for public organisations.
South Tyneside Council has a duty to respond to information requests and will be able to tell you if information is available.
