Wrexham County Borough Council

The complainant requested various information in respect the Welsh Government’s TrawsCyrmru bus network including a feasibility study into the introduction of a possible new TrawsCymru bus route in North Wales during the period 2016 to 2018.  Wrexham County Borough Council initially refused to confirm or deny whether it held information in respect of item 12 but did not cite an exemption. Following the intervention of the Commissioner, the Council confirmed that it was relying on section 43(2) to refuse the information in respect to item 12 and the complainant’s follow on questions to item 11. The Commissioner’s decision is that Wrexham County Borough Council has complied with its obligations in respect of section 1(1) of the FOIA in respect of item 11 of the original request but has breached section 1(1) in respect of the subsequent follow on questions. The Commissioner has also concluded that the Council was not entitled to rely on section 43(2) to refuse information in respect of item 12 and the complainant’s follow on questions to item 11.
