Goring on Thames Parish Council

The complainant has requested that the Goring on Thames Parish Council provides copies of email correspondence between a volunteer working group and a private company, carrying out work relating to the development of the Goring Neighbourhood Plan. In addition plans, drawings or proposals submitted to the Goring Neighbourhood Plan steering group or sub-group were requested. Goring on Thames Parish Council disclosed some of the information requested but stated that the email correspondence was not held in its own records.

The Commissioner requires Goring on Thames Parish Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: confirm or deny whether any information is held and issue a fresh response that complies with the terms of the EIR.
