Susan has asked me the question below and I wondered if the list can contribute. At LCC we have a policy and schedules. I wondered if this was the norm or an exception. I think that most will have, or are planning to develop a policy/schedule. Perhaps you could respond to me off list and I will anonymise and post to the list/Susan. Alternatively, you could contact Susan direct. The question is do you (as a local authority) have an overall policy re disposal/selection as well as schedules?
