Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant asked the Council to release detailed account information relating to the funding it received for the Croydon Local Involvement Network (LINK). He required information which detailed how the funding had been spent by Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA); the organisation contracted by the Council to host the LINK. The Council responded confirming that it only holds the annual accounts produced by CVA and it does not hold information which provides a more detailed breakdown of the expenditure of the LINK funding. As the complainant remained dissatisfied, he approached the Commissioner. The Commissioner made enquiries to the Council to establish exactly what information it does hold which falls within the scope of the request. The Commissioner is satisfied that the Council only holds the information already provided to the complainant and that on the balance of probabilities the Council does not hold the more detailed account information the complainant requires. He therefore requires no further action to be taken.
