Summary: The complainant requested information connected to a grievance about being issued with a parking ticket by Cherwell District Council (-the council-) in 2011. In response to the initial requests, the council said that it considered that the requests had already been addressed in a letter from the Local Government Ombudsman (-the LGO-). In relation to subsequent requests, the council said that the complainant-s requests were vexatious and it cited the exclusion under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). The Commissioner-s decision is that no more information was held relating to the initial requests and that the council correctly relied on section 14(1) in relation to the subsequent requests. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
