23 July 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant requested a list of key decisions considered by East Devon District Council (the council). The complainant was not satisfied that the council’s initial response provided him with the requested information. Following an internal review the complainant was provided with the information required, however he was not satisfied with the time the council took to provide the information or conduct an internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not provide the required information within the 20 working day timeframe permitted by the FOIA. As the council has now provided the requested information, the Commissioner does not require it to take any steps.
