Pittington Parish Council
27 March 2017, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant has requested copies of the resignation letters of Cllr Andrew Sowerby and anybody else who had resigned from Pittington Parish Council since May 2013. Pittington Parish Council withheld the information, citing section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Pittington Parish Council has applied section 40(2) of FOIA appropriately. However, the Commissioner considers that Pittington Parish Council has breached sections 10(1) (time for compliance) and 17(1)(b) (request for information) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require Pittington Parish Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
FOI 1: Upheld FOI 10: Upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
