24 July 2007, Local government (City council)
The complainants submitted a request to Birmingham City Council (‘the Council’) for a year-by-year breakdown from 1992 onwards of those Neighbourhood Forums that were members of the Birmingham Association of Neighbourhood Forums. The Council advised the complainants that it does not hold the information requested in the format required, i.e. year-by-year. The Council did, however, provide the complainants with a list of those Neighbourhood Forums that were or had been members of the Birmingham Association of Neighbourhood Forums since 1992. Having considered the information available the Commissioner is satisfied that the information requested by the complainants is not held by the Council. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
