The law gives everybody a right to access all recorded information held by the council. This is called Freedom of Information or FOI. Anyone can use this right, and information can only be withheld where Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) expressly permits it.
You can submit an FOI request using our online form (available at https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/foi), by email to foi@aberdeenshire.gov.uk or in paper. Paper requests should be sent to:
