INFORMATIVES

1. The legislation gives a right of access to information contained within records which is not necessarily the same as access to records
themselves. Sometimes this can be most efficiently achieved by providing copies of the original documents. On other occasions the raw
documents could be difficult to interpret - due to the use of jargon, or because the information sought is only a small part of a much
larger document covering also other matters beyond the scope of the request, or we may have reason to withhold some or all of the
information under a statutory FOI exemption or EIR exception. This form offers a means of summarising and/or providing
interpretation in these circumstances so as to reduce costs and improve clarity.

2. If you are dissatisfied with our response or wish to seek further explanation or make a comment please contact us again – see our
publication scheme on website www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk or our Corporate Complaints leaflet “If we’ve got it right or wrong” for
details of the procedure.

3.Please note that you do have a right to make a complaint direct to the Information Commissioner and details on how to do this are set
out on the Information Commissioner’s website www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk under the heading “How to make a complaint”
