30 November 2005, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant requested the full accounts of the taxi licensing office for the last 5 years. The Council failed to respond within 20 working days and in their eventual response stated that clarification of the request was required before the information could be provided. The rationale for this was not made clear to either the complainant or, subsequently, the Commissioner. This Decision Notice requires that the Council provide either the information requested or a valid reason for why this information cannot be provided.
