Frequently asked information requests
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council receives regular Freedom of Information requests for information about the borough.
As many of these requests are for similar information we are now making the following commonly requested data available electronically:
- Council Tax and business rates data sets
- Public health funerals data sets
Notes about the data
- all data sets will be updated in January, April, July and October each year
For the Council Tax and business rates data sets:
- the ratepayers name and correspondence address will only be shown for companies and other organisations
- if the ratepayer is an individual those fields will be blank as required by the Data Protection Act
- the ratepayer is responsible for paying the rates but may not be the owner of the property, you can find out who owns a property from the Land Registry
- our property reference number is also used by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) which values property for rating purposes
