Potto Parish Council
23 November 2017, Local government (Parish council)
The complainant has requested a detailed breakdown of Potto Parish Council’s budget for village improvements including any job tasks for the financial year 2017/18. The Council responded with some information, but said no detailed quotations were held by it. The complainant maintained that the Council held further detail in order to arrive at the figure in the 2017/18 budget. During communications with the Commissioner, the Council provided further information about how the village improvements figure had been calculated. The Commissioner’s decision is that in failing to communicate to the complainant all the information it held to fulfil the request within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, Potto Parish Council breached section 10(1) (time for compliance) of the FOIA. She also found a breach of section 1 (general right of access) of the FOIA. The additional information has been provided to the complainant. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
