Forest of Dean District Council
5 January 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant requested information on a standards committee meeting regarding a complaint from one councillor about another. The council initially claimed section 44 of the Act applied (statutory prohibition) but during the course of the Commissioner's investigation it disclosed all of the relevant information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council failed to comply with section 10(1) of the Act in that it did not provide the information to the complainant within the 20 working days required by the Act. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
