Publication scheme

A guide to the classes of information we publish or intend to publish routinely.

Publication Scheme

In implementing the Freedom of Information Act 2000, we promote an understanding of the work undertaken to foster a spirit of trust with the public and other organisations.

We deal with individual requests for information courteously and promptly and provide advice and assistance where necessary.

We achieve this by promoting transparency in our decision-making and by providing clear information about our policies and processes. This is done through our publication scheme.

Format

We are required to specify 'classes' of information to ensure the information is provided in a standard format regardless of where it comes from.

The Information Commissioner issued a Model Publication Scheme and from 1 January 2009 we adopted this way of working.

It contains seven classes of information:

Who we are and what we do

Council Buildings    

Departments and Contacts  

What we spend and how we spend it

Payments to Suppliers  

Council Procurement

Annual Accounts

Annual Budget

What our priorities are and how we are doing

Annual Audit

Corporate Policies and Strategies

Comprehensive Performance Assessment

Our Ambitions

The Council Plan

How we make decisions

Complaints Policy

Committee Agendas, Reports and Minutes

Consultations, Petitions and Surveys

Lewes District Council's Constitution

Our policies and procedures

Equalities Policies

Local Development Framework

Lists and registers

Electoral Register

The services we offer

Tourist Information Centres

Translation and Interpreting Services

By adopting this, we are committed to proactively publishing information, including environmental information.

We will provide a means by which we can ensure the public are aware of the sorts of the information we commit to make readily available, how it can be accessed and whether a cost is charged.

We will review and update the information on a regular basis.

Contacts

For information concerning the scheme or request for other information can be made direct to our officers.

Reproducing material supplied under this Publication Scheme without the express permission of the Council may be an infringement of copyright.
