18 November 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested copies of emails and notes relating to a meeting that took place between council officers and residents in relation to an ongoing dispute about a lamppost. The council disclosed the requested information but redacted the personal data of a number of third parties under regulation 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied regulation 13 of the EIR to all remaining withheld information. He therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
EIR 13: Not upheld
