North Somerset Council says it will continue to work hard to guard against data losses.

The authority's been fined 60 thousand pounds by the Information Commissioner's Office after five emails containing highly sensitive information were sent to the wrong person - though the council says if they pay early it'll be cut to forty-eight grand.

They say as soon as it came to light they reported it to the ICo and launched their own internal investigation - which led to disciplinary action and improved training.
