Transparency and Freedom of Information

Transparency is at the heart of how we work. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI), anyone - regardless of age, nationality, or where they live - has the right to request information.

We are committed to open government and sharing the information it holds wherever possible.

You have the right to access any recorded information held by public sector organisations. 

This is the law, as enacted by the Freedom of Information Act (FOI).  

No matter your age, nationality or place of residence, anyone can request information.  

The Combined Authority is committed to open government and the release of any information it holds. Read more on this below.
