12 March 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information from Thanet District Council (the Council) about a Contaminated Land Register. He specifically requested the information be provided in CD or DVD format. The Council provided some of the information in DVD/CD format whilst the remainder of the information was not provided in the requested format. The complainant was given options in relation to accessing the remainder of the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has provided what information it can in CD/DVD format and was correct to refuse to provide the remainder of the information in CD/DVD format. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0087 dismissed.
