Wrexham County Borough Council
23 July 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested various items of information in respect of POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) strategy meetings concerning his late father. Wrexham County Council (‘the Council’) refused the request on the basis of section 31(1)(g) and section 41(1) of the FOIA. The complainant was not satisfied with the Council’s reliance on the exemptions or that it had provided all information falling within the scope of his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has complied with its obligations under section 1(1) of the FOIA and correctly relied on section 41 in respect of the requested information. The Council did however breach section 17(1) of the FOIA in its failure to provide a refusal notice to the complainant within the statutory timescale provided for under the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 17: Upheld
