26 February 2015, Local government (City council)
The complainant requested all photographs relating to a particular property. Newport City Council (‘the Council’) provided some photographs with its initial response and subsequently disclosed additional photographs it located. The Commissioner has investigated and is satisfied that the Council has complied with its obligations under section 1 of the FOIA and, on the balance of probabilities it does not hold any further information relevant to the request. However, in failing to provide the information requested within the statutory time for compliance, the Council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 1: Partly upheld FOI 10: Upheld
