The Freedom of Information publication scheme is a guide to the information that Hounslow Council routinely publishes or intends to publish.
We are committed to a policy of open access to information under the scheme.
The term publication is not limited to information contained in a bound or printed form such as a brochure or a book. It includes many different ways of producing information. Web based information is just as much part of the publication scheme as a mass-produced leaflet.
Some information is held in public registers and is not held in a form suitable for publication in the normal sense and in these cases the information is available in specified locations for public inspection.
