Dear Foi Enquiries,

Thank you very much.

This is much appreciated.

I take it that this is licensed under OGL for re-use?

Can I also ask if the council has specific identifiers for Councillors (a unique reference number or similar to tie councillor records together) that we could re-use rather than create a new one?

If you wish to pass this on to Members enquiries or similar we would be happy if they contacted [email address] in response

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Smith,

 

Thank you for your follow-up email which we received on 19 January 2018.

 

I take it that this is licensed under OGL for re-use?

Unfortunately, we are unable to confirm that you can re-use this data
under OGL (Open Government Licence). ACC currently does not utilise the
OGL for information made available (including information published on our
website).

 

Can I also ask if the council has specific identifiers for Councillors (a
unique reference number or similar to tie councillor records together)
that we could re-use rather than create a new one?

Councillors are not given unique identifiers but are identified by name in
our systems. Enquiries by councillor are given unique references.

 

We apologise that we are not able to help further.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Grant Webster
