7 December 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested emails from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (the council) that resulted in a specific email being sent to him in September 2015. The council maintains that no information is held within the scope of this request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council does not hold the requested information, and has therefore complied with section 1 of the FOIA. However, in responding to the initial request outside 20 working days, the Commissioner finds that the council has failed to comply with section 10 of the FOIA.
FOI 1: Not upheld FOI 10: Upheld
