Brimscombe and Thrupp Parish Council
4 June 2015, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant has requested information relating to allotments within Brimscombe and Thrupp Parish. The Council refused to provide the complainant with the requested information on the grounds that her request is vexatious. The Commissioner has considered the representations made to him by Brimscombe and Thrupp Parish Council. He has decided that the Council has incorrectly applied section 14(1) of the FOIA to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose to the complainant any recorded information it holds which is relevant to her request or it should issue a new refusal notice which is compliant with the provisions of section 17 of the FOIA. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
FOI 14: Upheld
