Winsley Parish Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50279127 (07 February 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information on the council-™s public response to negotiations with a local charity over the lease of a playing field. The council initially stated that the request was vexatious, however on review it stated that it did not hold any information because one of the councillors on the working group had not provided it to the reviewer. The Councillor concerned stated that his letters were private correspondence and he was not prepared to provide it to the council. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the letters were private correspondence and so the council did not hold the information. The complainant also asked a number of questions regarding the council-™s actions in respect of the hospice. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council did hold recorded information which would allow it to respond to one of those questions, and he finds that that should be disclosed. However he has also been satisfied by the council-™s argument that no other information was held regarding the remainder of the questions, and therefore he finds that Regulation 12(4)(a) applies.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 12.4.a - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld
