Policy proposals and decisions. Decision making processes, internal criteria and procedures, consultations.

The classes of information will not generally include:
- Information the disclosure of which is prevented by law, or exempt under the Freedom of Information Act, or is otherwise properly considered to be protected from disclosure.
- Information in draft form.
- Information that is no longer readily available as it is contained in files that have been placed in archive storage, or is difficult to access for similar reasons.
What about information not published under the Publication Scheme?
Information held by the Council, which has not been published under this Scheme, can be requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
