Copyright - reusing public sector information
On 1 July 2005 a new European Directive came into force which
allows people to apply to re-use information held by the
Council.
‘Re-use’ means using the information for a purpose other than
the purpose for which the document was originally produced. This
could include a commercial purpose.
The directive does not provide access to the information itself.
That is available through the Freedom of Information Act, Data
Protection Act or other access to information regimes such as the
Environmental Information Regulations.
