Birmingham City Council
1 March 2016, Local government (City council)
The complainant requested information in relation to wheelie bins. Birmingham City Council (the council) provided some of the information but refused two parts of the request under section 12(1) of the FOIA as it determined that it would take over the appropriate limit to respond. The complainant asked the Commissioner to consider if section 12(1) was engaged to the remaining part of his request, and also whether the council has complied with regulation 16 of the FOIA – providing appropriate advice and assistance. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is able to rely on section 12(1) of the FOIA to refuse the parts of the request it has and also it has complied with section 16 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 12: Not upheld
