Bolton Council
30 November 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information relating to decisions made by Bolton Council with regard to Leverhulme Park charitable land. The Commissioner’s decision is that Bolton Council is correct to assert that it does not hold the requested information in accordance with the EIR. However, initially the Council relied upon the FOIA and did not respond to the request in accordance with the relevant legislation. The Commissioner finds that Bolton Council breached regulation 14(2) of the EIR because it did not provide a refusal notice within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
EIR 14(2): Upheld EIR 32(a): Not upheld EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld
