Freedom of Information request

Information we have already published

Before making a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, check if the information you're looking for is already available:

• Publication scheme: Find information that is often requested, including information about the council’s structure, finances and policies.
• Freedom of Information responses: We publish answers to previous FOI requests in order of when they were requested.

Information that we do not have

These are areas that we do not have information about. Instead, contact the organisations that are reponsible for those areas.

• ULEZ and red routes - Transport for London (TfL)
• Speeding fines - Metropolitan Police
• Information about schools, for example bullying incidents, events hosted at the school, school closures, school spending (including agency spending), school’s policies and procedures, allegations made against staff and other disputes (contact the relevant school directly)

Information that we do not publish

We do not disclose specific IT security information or confirm the existence of cyber-attacks to prevent potential exploitation by criminals. We apply exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to withhold such information.

See our full exemption notice and public interest test (PDF).
