Bedford Borough Council
31 July 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested information concerning instances where Penalty Charge Notices have been served to persons who were rightfully and lawfully parked. The Council has refused to comply with the complainant’s request on the grounds that it would exceed the appropriate limit provided by section 12 of the FOIA. The Commissioner has decided that Bedford Borough Council has correctly applied section 12 of the FOIA to parts one and two of the complainant’s request on the grounds that to do so would exceed the appropriate limit. The Commissioner has also decided that the Council failed to provide the complainant with advice and assistance in respect of the remaining parts of his request and therefore it has breached section 16 of the FOIA.
FOI 12: Not upheld FOI 16: Upheld
