20 May 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested copies of datasets that provide information on the road adoption status of the highways and other related information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Northumberland County Council was correct to refuse to provide the information under Regulation 6(1)(b) of the EIR as the information is already publicly available and easily accessible to the complainant in another form or format. He does not require any steps to be taken to comply with the legislation.
EIR 6: Not upheld
