Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FER0255679 (24 May 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested an un-redacted copy of a report written by a senior officer at the council relating to the collection of waste at the Portobello and Golborne Markets in London. The report was written by the Head of Waste Management and Street Enforcement for the Arts, Parks and Leisure and Environmental Management Policy Board meeting dated 14 December 2007. The council disclosed parts of the report to the complainant however it redacted sections of it on the basis that regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications) applied. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council was able to apply regulation 12(4)(e) as the report was an internal communication. He has however decided that the balance of the public interest rests in disclosing the information in this instance.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 12.4.e - Complaint Upheld
