Freedom of information
Freedom of Information requests we don't deal with
We get lots of Freedom of Information Requests for services we don't provide. Here's a list of the most common ones, and who you should be contacting.
Unclaimed estates
The Government's Bona Vacantia division (BVD) publishes a list, which is updated daily, of unclaimed estates. Newly advertised estates appear at the top of the list and the rest of the list is in alphabetical order.
Speeding Offences and Safety (Speed) Cameras
The relevant public authority is Lancashire Constabulary.
School-specific information
In most cases, requests for certain school-specific information should be transferred to the schools themselves. Questions which are non school-specific should be directed to Lancashire County Council.
A list of the schools in Lancashire can be found on the schools directory
