8 December 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested emails which have been sent and received by Gill Alexander, Hartlepool Borough Council’s Chief Executive and those sent and received by Sally Robinson, the Council’s Director of Child and Adult Services. The requested emails concern the murder of Angela Wrightson in December 2014. The Commissioner’s decision is that Hartlepool Borough Council has correctly applied sections 36(2)(b)(i) and 36(2)(b)(ii) to the emails requested by the complainant and therefore the Council is entitled to withhold them.
