Council data and information listings Freedom of Information Publication Scheme

Transparency

Here you will find links to all the information which we are required to publish under the Local Government Transparency Code together with our Freedom of Information Publication Scheme.

Transparency and open data are a key government priority; the aim is to open up government and public services through the publication of non-personal information and data which makes the public sector more accountable to communities and businesses. It also helps to drive improvements in services by informing choice and stimulating innovation and growth.

All of the information published is available for re-use under the terms of the Government Open Licence for Public Sector Information.

For more information, visit our Freedom of Information page.

Peer review

We have been reviewed by a peer team from Local Government. The team spent three days onsite at Cotswold District Council. They have produced a report on their findings and offered feedback on how we can improve as a council.
