Data protection and freedom of information
In order to provide members of the public with a
service, Allerdale Borough Council very often needs to
obtain personal information about its citizens. We must be very
careful how we handle such data as the Council has a legal
obligation to treat this information in a specific way.
Allerdale Borough Council also welcomes the coming into force of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoIA). It is hoped that,
through the Act’s support for a culture of openness and
accountability, it will lead to a better public understanding of
how the Council carries out its duties, the reasons for the
decisions it makes and how it spends public money.
