The Council has an internal review procedure. If your complaint is about the decision which has been made you will usually be entitled to have your case reviewed by a senior officer from a department which has not been involved in the decision previously. Your request for internal review must be received by the Council within 40 working days from the date that the response to your initial request is issued.

If, after their decision, you are still not happy, you may appeal to-

The Information Commissioner

For the avoidance of doubt the provision of council (and other) officer names and contact details under FOI or EIR does not give consent to receive direct marketing via any media and expressly does not constitute a ‘soft opt-in’ under PECR.
