Essex County Council
2 October 2014, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information in relation to parking restrictions in his area and Basildon as a whole. Essex County Council (the council) initially advised it held some of the information but not all of it as some would be held by Basildon County Council. It refused the information it did hold under section 12 of the FOIA. Following the Commissioner’s enquiries, the council advised that it may hold all of the information but was not able to determine this, relying on section 12 of the FOIA, as to establish whether it held the information would exceed the appropriate limit. The complainant is not satisfied with the council relying on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly relied on section 12 of the FOIA in this case. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 12: Not upheld
