UK Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04) Local authorities are complying with the provisions of the 1985 Act and four fifths reported activities that go beyond the requirements of the legislation The Act appears to ensure a basic level of provision of information about the decision making process within local government, but it is the steps authorities have taken that go beyond these measures which have been most effective in maximising public awareness of this process. The overall aim was to evaluate the impact of the Act by considering its operation in practice; its value to the public, the press and elected members; and its influence on the work of local authorities and other public bodies covered by the legislation. www.local.dtlr.gov.uk /research/public.htm   (1511 words)

ACCESS TO INFORMATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT - THE JIGSAW PUZZLE In a statement in July 2003, Nick Raynsford, Minister for Local Government, Regional Governance and Fire, said that the Government wants ‘a system which promotes a culture of openness throughout councils, which delivers accountability and transparency in decision-making and equally guarantees the protection of information such as personal details where this is necessary’. Part VA of the Local Government Act 1972 This Act was amended in part by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, since when the public has had a right of access— subject to certain exemptions—to meetings and documents of the council, committees or subcommittees. The note recommends local authorities adopt a policy statement declaring their commitment to openness and providing access to information, rather than only allowing access to the agendas, reports and background papers covered by Part VA of the 1972 Act. www.publicnet.co.uk /publicnet/fe031114.htm   (1579 words)
