Page Under Review
We are currently reviewing and updating the information published within this section of our website to ensure it remains accurate and up to date.
Some documents may not reflect the most recent position while this review is being completed.
If you require the latest information, please contact us or submit a request using our information request process and we will be happy to assist.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while this work is undertaken.

We are committed to being open and strive to share information about how we operate, make decisions, and provide services. Our publication scheme guides what information we have made available and plan to share in the future. It also explains how to access the information, how it will be provided, and if there are any associated costs.

This publication scheme commits the East Midlands Combined Authority to make information available to the public as part of its normal business activities.

The scheme commits East Midlands Combined Authority: –

  • To proactively publish or otherwise make available as a matter of routine, information, including environmental information, which is held by the authority and falls within the classifications below. (More information on classifications is available from www.ico.gov.uk).
