25 July 2016, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant has requested audio recordings of Hemingbrough Parish Council meetings. The Commissioner’s decision is that Hemingbrough Parish Council breached section 1(1)(a) and 1(1)(b) of the FOIA by not informing the complainant that the requested information was held and not communicating the requested information to the complainant. However, as the requested information has since been destroyed, the Commissioner cannot order any steps requiring Hemingbrough Parish Council to comply with section 1 of the FOIA in this case. Therefore he requires no further action to be taken in respect of this request.
FOI 1: Upheld
