Re: Publication of responses v Data protection - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

Following submission of Wokingham Borough's Core Strategy to the Secretary of State in August last year, over 1,500 individuals and organisations responded. Copies of all the representations are available on the Council website (http://www2.wokingham.gov.uk/environment/planning/ldf/core-strategy/core-strategy-consultation/responses-received). The Council covered details of the respondents addresses (both postal and email), phone number and signature when the representations were scanned so that this information is not available on the website. However, the orignial representatinos (including these details) can still be viewed at the Council offices.

North East Lincolnshire Council completed consultation on its Core Strategy Revised Preferred Options document in January using Limehouse online consultation portal. Any comments received using more traditional methods (letters, emails etc) were scanned and also made available electronically on the Council website. Any personal details (signatures, email, postal addresses etc) were covered prior to scanning. The originals (with details) are available for viewing at the Council offices.

Just wondered in terms of the originals available for inspection, what did you do if someone wanted to come in and have a copy of the reps - did / would you let them take a copy without blanking out names/addrresses etc?
