2 November 2017, Local government (County council)
The complainant requested information related to taxi and private hire vehicle compliance with the Equality Act 2010. The complainant is not happy with the way Cheshire East Council dealt with his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cheshire East Council complied with its obligation under section 1 FOIA. However Cheshire East Council initially failed to state whether or not it holds some of the information requested and consequently breached section 10(1) and section 16(1) of the FOIA. Cheshire East Council has now fully responded to the request therefore the Commissioner does not require any further steps.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 16: Upheld FOI 1: Not upheld
