Summary: The complainant has requested information about a roadside Variable Message Sign installed at a specific location in Colchester. The public authority dealt with the request in general correspondence, outside the procedures required by FOIA. The complainant indicated that he had not received a response to his request for an internal review, and his associated belief that the response provided was not a full response to his request. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Essex County Council has disclosed all the information held which matches the description in the complainant-™s request, however he finds that the council-™s response to the request is deficient in certain areas and he notes procedural breaches of section 1, section 10 and section 17 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
