This investigation has found that the breach extended to a database of email addresses of Warwick District Council residents held by Stratford on Avon District Council, as part of the joint working between the two Councils.

Both District Councils believe that the data breach is restricted to a database of email addresses which have been supplied to the Councils by residents from Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick District, and that no further personal data is affected.

Warwick District Council has now made a referral to the Information Commissioner’s Office regarding this matter and will continue to keep residents updated with any further developments.
