The Freedom of Information Act gives you the right to access official information from public authorities including your local authority. If you feel that you have been unfairly treated by your housing authority, want to find out about how their housing lists work or want to ask for any other information they may hold, you can make a freedom of information request.
You have the right to find out about environmental information issues that might affect your home - for example, where flood plains are located or information about landfill sites and mobile phone masts.
