Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant has requested information concerning the names of the companies that were tendering, or enquiring to tender or buy, the river dredgings at Gunthorpe, Nottingham in 1995 from The Canal and River Trust (-�CRT-�) (previously British Waterways (-�BW-�)). The complainant also requested correspondence regarding the processing, sale and tendering of the dredgings including negotiations, tender documents and agreed prices for the sale of the aggregates and the names of individuals who may have such information. There was also a request in relation to planning permissions which were held in respect of the above use. The CRT stated that it did not hold some of the requested information. Some information was provided following enquiries made of staff that had knowledge of the information that had been requested. The complainant was advised to contact the relevant planning authority for some of the information. The Commissioner-�s decision is that the outstanding information is not held. He therefore does not require the CRT to take any steps to comply with the legislation.
