22 July 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant requested information relating to grant funding for Mill View Primary School’s ‘Forest School’, an outdoor learning environment. The council responded to the request but it took longer than 20 working days to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request should have been considered under the terms of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (“the EIR”). He considers that the council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR for failing to respond within 20 working days. There are no steps to take.
EIR 5(2): Upheld
