9 May 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information from the London Borough of Waltham Forest (“the Council”) for copies of policies and legislation. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 21 (information reasonably accessible by other means) of the FOIA. However, the Council has breached section 10 as it failed to provide a substantive response within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the Council to take no steps.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 21: Not upheld
