Access to information

Find published Greenhaven Council information or request recorded information held by the council.

Check published information first

Greenhaven Council publishes information about its functions, governance, meetings, decisions, policies, finance and services through this website as those records come into existence. Use the publication scheme and guide to information, site search or site map to find information already available.

Request recorded information

The Freedom of Information Act 2026 provides an information access framework for recorded information held by public authorities. A request concerns information Greenhaven Council actually holds; it is different from asking the council for advice, an opinion or a new explanation that is not already recorded.

How to make a request now

Use the information request form to ask for recorded information held by Greenhaven Council. Give enough detail to identify the information you want and include contact details for the response.

Information held by another authority

Greenhaven Council can only deal with information it holds. If the requested record belongs to another public authority, the response can identify that authority where responsibility is clear.

Personal information

If you are asking for information about yourself, different data protection rights may apply. The privacy page explains how Greenhaven Council handles personal information and will link the appropriate request route as the council's information rights arrangements are established.
