24 September 2014, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has made a multi-part request for recorded information in which she seeks information concerning complaints received by St Edmundsbury Borough Council relating noise from wheelie bins and information about the refusal of applications for dropped kerb parking. The Commissioner’s decision is that St Edmundsbury Borough Council (“the Council”) is entitled to rely on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse to provide information in respect of parts 1 and 2 of the complainant’s request. The Commissioner has also decided that the Council has provided all the recorded information it holds in respect of parts 3, 4 and 5 of the complainant’s request and has therefore complied with section 1 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action in this matter.
FOI 12: Not upheld
