15 February 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant made a number of requests to the council during 2016 for information, some under the FOIA and some under the EIR. With the exception of one, the council failed to respond within 20 working days. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in respect of all but one of the requests contained in this decision notice, the council failed to comply with section 10(1) of the Act and regulation 5(2) of the EIR in that it did not provide the information to the complainant within 20 working days. As the council has now provided the complainant with the requested information the Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 10: Upheld EIR 5(2): Partly upheld
