25 January 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested the minutes of meetings to discuss proposed changes at a local community centre. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, South Tyneside Council (the Council) does not hold the information requested. The Commissioner notes, however, that the Council’s response was outside of the statutory timeframe and it has, therefore, breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any remedial steps.
FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 10: Upheld
