How much do WCC publications cost and where are they available?

This Publication Scheme contains many items that are free of charge, though there may be a cost for certain publications. The full list of publications includes complete details of charges.

Before using the publication scheme, remember many documents are available via the Council website for free. For those without Internet access at home, many Westminster Council public libraries and the City Archives Centre have free Internet facilities.

The full list of publications will tell you if documents are available via web, email, post or One-Stop shops.

Requests to Westminster Council for print outs or for copies of documents within the City Archives will attract a charge for the cost of retrieval, photocopying, postage etc. Westminster Council will provide you with a quote for the cost when we get your request. Any charge will need to be paid in advance.

Further Advice

• Westminster Council may not publish all information where relevant exemptions apply e.g. National security, Individual rights of privacy, Commercial Confidentiality

• Official records deemed of permanent value are transferred to the Westminster Council City Archive. A selection of the documents managed by the Archives Centre is included in the Publication Scheme.

• Given that certain older documents may fall out of use and that new documents will be added, users should understand that the scheme may not always be accurate. However, it is regularly reviewed and we will do our best to keep it up to date

• If you can't find a specific document or publication through the scheme, you can make a written request to Westminster Council to find out whether the information you seek actually exists and can be legally provided.
