25 November 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has made two separate information requests with regards to wheeled bins. Ashford Borough Council (the council) refused both requests relying on section 14(1) of the FOIA as it considered them to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is able to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse the two requests. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 14: Not upheld
