Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, sets out exemptions from that right, and places a number of obligations on public authorities. This includes central and local government, non-departmental public bodies, the police, the health service and schools, colleges and universities.

In addition to the general right of access we publish a Publication Scheme, a document which contains links to some of the most used information. This makes information available to the public as part of normal business activities and enables the public to access information readily, without recourse to Freedom of Information requests.

Any person who makes a request to a public authority for information must be informed whether the authority holds that information and, subject to exemptions, supplied with that information.

How do I make a Freedom of Information request?

To make a FOI request, please write to us at:

Freedom of Information Request
Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner
Runcorn Town Hall
Heath Road
Runcorn
WA7 5TD

or send an email (opens email application) with the subject FOI Request.

If you wish to make a request for your own information you must make a request under the Data Protection Act 2018. Information on how to do this is below.
