An opportunity not a problem

Martin Rosenbaum | 16:23 UK time, Wednesday, 12 September 2007

It's always interesting to see public authorities start putting in freedom of information requests themselves.

Castle Morpeth Council in Northumberland is to the Department of Communities and Local Government. This follows the department's decision to create a new unitary authority for the entire county, in conflict with Castle Morpeth's wishes. Councillors in Castle Morpeth want to know more about how and why the Communities Secretary Hazel Blears reached this decision.

It's one way for public bodies to convert freedom of information from being a problem into an opportunity.
