Information held by the Parish Council that is not published on this website can be requested in writing from the Parish Council Clerk ([email protected]) or verbally at any of our meetings. All requests will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018, which precludes the release of certain data, e.g., personal data about individuals or commercially confidential information.

Please note

Whilst normally considered to be a public authority, in the context of the Data Protection Act 2018, Parish Councils are specifically excluded, as stated in Section 7(3) of the Act. This section of the DPA also makes clear that references in subsection (1)(a) and (b) to public authorities as defined by the Freedom of Information Act 2000 do not include Parish Councils.

Nonetheless, Grafham Parish Council is willing to assist with reasonable and specific requests for additional information that is in the public interest and not already published on this website.
