The complainant requested various reports relating to Coety Primary School. Bridgend County Borough Council (‘the Council’) withheld the information under section 43(2) of the FOIA. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council withdrew reliance on section 43 of the FOIA and disclosed the information, subject to a small amount of personal data being redacted under section 40(2). In failing to comply with section 1 within the statutory timescale the Commissioner finds that the Council breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
FOI 10: Upheld
