29 September 2014, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested information in relation to the consultation on proposed 20mph zones in the city. Brighton and Hove City Council (the council) initially refused the request relying on section 22 of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigations, the council provided some of the information as it became available, but amended its refusal under section 22 of the FOIA to the rest of the information instead advising that it did not actually hold the other information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has now provided all the information it holds within the scope of this request. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 22: Partly upheld
