Public information

Public Health Funerals

It is a legal requirement that when a resident in the area passes away prior to a hospital admission, and there is no one else willing or able to pay, the council will make the necessary arrangements for the funeral. This is known as a Public Health Funeral and the cost is covered by the council.

An analysis of assets is included in our Annual Statement of Accounts

Disclosure logs

We do not operate a disclosure log of Freedom of Information requests.

Business Rates - National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) Data

Wirral Council receives many requests for information relating non-domestic properties, under the Freedom of information Act 2000. To assist in responding and reduce the number of requests, the most frequently requested information is published in a ‘general search file‘, the reports of which are updated on a regular basis.

All information provided in the downloads is correct as at the time specified on the file. However, Wirral Council cannot vouch for the ongoing accuracy of the data as the records are updated daily.

The information has been redacted to remove accounts relating to individuals and sole traders due to Data Protection Act Restrictions. Individual account numbers have also been removed as these are personal to the account and are used to verify the account holder when contacting Wirral Council.

Partnerships, contact names and addresses for the companies listed are also excluded as the registered office addresses can be found at Companies House.

Under Section 31(1) (a), we are prevented from disclosing credit information as this would prejudice the prevention of crime. Displaying a list of unclaimed Non-Domestic Rating credits in a public arena would be an invitation to defraud the council and the businesses who are legitimately owed the credit.

Merseyside Community Risk Register

The Community Risk Register has been compiled jointly by the council and other emergency response agencies in Merseyside. It identifies any potential risks that may affect the communities of Merseyside and is subject to regular review.

We will continue to assess our internal documents to determine when it is appropriate to make something routinely available as a publication. Any such document that is not currently published can be requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 by contacting informationmanager@imt.wirral.gov.uk
