Vexatious requests Policy

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives the public a right of access to official information held by public bodies. Ruspidge & Soudley Parish Council, as a public body, is committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations and functions and recognises that this can sometimes mean that the Parish Council must accept a certain level of disruption and inconvenience. However, in some circumstances a request, or its impact on the Parish Council, cannot be justified and this policy sets out the circumstances in which a request can be refused on the grounds that it is vexatious.
