16 February 2016, Local government (County council)
The complainant requested information about queries and complaints received about a particular property. The Isle of Anglesey County Council (‘the Council’) disclosed some information but withheld other information. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council confirmed that it considered the EIR to apply to the request as opposed to the FOIA. The Council also disclosed some additional information but maintained that information about the individual who reported the matter to the Council was exempt under regulations 13 and 12(5)(f). The Commissioner’s decision is that the remaining withheld information is exempt under regulation 13 of the EIR. He does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 13: Not upheld
