19 June 2017, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant’s representatives have requested recorded information from Monks Eleigh Parish Council. The information the complainant seeks relates to plans for a new village hall. The Council has determined that the complainant’s information request is vexatious and therefore it has refused to comply with the request in reliance on section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Monks Eleigh Parish Council has incorrectly applied section 14(1) and therefore the Commissioner requires the Council to make a fresh response to the complainant’s request.
FOI 14: Upheld
