Further information
What is the publication scheme?
The publication scheme is a complete guide to the information routinely published by Blaby District Council. It is not a comprehensive list of the actual publications, since this will change as new documents are published, but rather it is a description of the classes or types of information published, however wherever possible information that is available electronically has been included.
Further information about specific service areas can be found under the AtoZ guide on the website, other documents and information can be found under the News and Information Section.
Fees and Charges
Some documents or information types will have statutory charges or charges covered by the Council's Schedule of Charges. Where these are applicable they must be paid prior to the release of information and you will be advised of the amount applicable. Wherever possible, however, links to electronic versions have been included for you to download for free at home.
If you ask the Council to photocopy/print and post information, then reasonable disbursements to cover such costs may be made.
Information Requests
If you would like to request any information not included in the publication scheme, please use the above online request form. Please provide as much detail as possible about the information you require.
Please Note: Environmental Information is covered by the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, not the Freedom of Information Act 2000. For example, environmental information could be that contained by Planning, Building Control and Environmental Health.
You still have the right to request information and the request form above can be used.
