Information Commissioner's Office

Wealden District Council

3 June 2015, Local government (District council)

In a 14 part request, the complainant has requested information from Wealden District Council (WDC) about its Housing Revenue Account proposals.  WDC said information relating to one part of the request is already published and is therefore exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the FOIA.  Regarding the remaining 13 parts, it either provided some information or confirmed that it did not hold the specific information requested.  The complainant was initially not satisfied with WDC’s response to five parts of his request; this reduced to two parts during the Commissioner’s investigation.  The complainant considers that WDC has not disclosed all the relevant information that it holds with respect to these two parts. The Commissioner’s decision is that Wealden District Council has disclosed to the complainant all the information that it holds within the scope of his request, and has complied with its obligations under section 1 of the FOIA.  The Commissioner does not require Wealden District Council to take any further steps.

FOI 1: Not upheld
