Croydon London Borough Council
1 August 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information from the London Borough of Croydon (“the Council”) relating to whether families similar to his own have been placed in temporary accommodation and/or rehoused permanently by the Council. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 12 of the FOIA to the request and has also provided the complainant with advice and assistance in accordance with section 16 of the FOIA. However, the Council has not complied with the FOIA in the following ways - it has breached section 10 of the FOIA, since it did not respond to the request within the statutory timeframe. It has also breached section 17 of the FOIA in failing to inform the complainant accurately of its reasons for refusing the request within the time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
