Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) gives you right of access to information produced in the course of the council’s work.

Make an FOI or EIR request

Please note FOI/EIR requests can be made via our online form.

Alternatively you can email your request to foi@lambeth.gov.uk.

Please ensure you:

  • Clearly describe the information you would like us to provide (for example, give the event, issue, building, committee, decision, incident that you want information on).
  • If you want a specific document (for example, minutes of a council meeting, e-mails, reports), clearly state that in your request.
  • If the information you want was produced on a specific date or between certain dates, please include them in your request. If you don’t know the exact dates, approximate ones will do.
  • If you know which area of the council holds the information you want please let us know.

If you need help completing the form, please e-mail foi@lambeth.gov.uk or telephone 020 7926 9694.

We will acknowledge your request within two working days and send a full response within 20 working days. If there is going to be a delay we will let you know.
