West Sussex County Council
28 July 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested information relating to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (WSFRS) pumping appliances (Water Tender Ladders) attending incidents with less than a crew of five. The Council refused to comply the request under section 12 FOIA as it said that it would exceed the cost limit to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 12 FOIA in this case. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide the complainant with advice and assistance to enable him to refine the request to fall within the cost limit. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant.
FOI 12: Not upheld
