The complainant requested information about all motions discussed at meetings of Pennard Community Council (‘the Council’) and the minutes of the open and closed session of the meeting on 29 September 2014. The Council failed to respond within the statutory 20 working days prescribed by the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not respond to the request within the timescale for compliance. As a substantive response has now been provided to the complainant, he does not require any remedial steps to be taken.
