Onchan Commissioners look to reduce FOI requests

Onchan commissioners say they'll start publishing information proactively to cut the number of Freedom of Information requests they get.

At its last meeting the board discussed a new code of practice about releasing  data it holds.

Members heard it was designed to improve openness and transparency, cut the number of Freedom of Information requests and slash administrative costs.

The local authority says as it already publishes much of the information it holds, only a small number of categories weren't currently available.
