How do I make a request to re-use information?

To be valid a request must:

  • be in writing
  • state your name
  • include an address for correspondence
  • specify the document/information which you want to re-use
  • state the purpose for which the document is to be re-used

In every instance, requests should be sent to:-

The Information Officer
Carlisle City Council
Civic Centre
Rickergate
Carlisle
CA3 8QG

E-mail: information@carlisle.gov.uk

If you plan to re-use the material for non-profit purposes, for study or for news reporting then you can apply for our standard "Click-Use" licence online.   For other purposes a charge may be made and another type of licence issued.  Please contact us if this is the case. 

Read the terms and conditions of the "click-use" FREE licence and if you qualify, you can fill in the "Click-use" licence. 

After you have submitted the form, you will receive a reference number for your application.

You should receive a reply within five working days confirming your licence, or telling you if there is a problem (if, for example, we do not own the copyright on some of the information).
