Re-use of Public Sector Information
This section of our website explains how you can apply for a
Licence to re-use Maidstone Borough Council copyright material.
The PSI Regulations were effective from 1 July 2005 and
implement a European Directive (2003/98/EC) on the re-use of public
sector information. The Directive aims to harmonise national rules
and practices and enable growth of the information industry across
Europe.
Background information
Applying to re-use Maidstone Borough Council copyright
material
You can apply to re-use content (text, pictures etc.) from this
website or from other Maidstone Borough Council
publications.
You may download the material featured on this website to
file or printer, or use the content from any Council
publication, for non-commercial research and private study.
You will need a licence from us for any other form of re-use
(for example, posting material on a website, graphic design, point
of sale or distributing printed copies at a meeting).
To get a licence, first read the Terms of our Standard Licence, then fill in
the licence application form.
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).
A charge may apply for the re-use of some Council information,
where this is the case you will be notified. For details of
charging see the Principles governing charging on our re-use Guidance page.
