Cheshire East Council
The complainant requested correspondence regarding the commissioning of the speed limit on a particular road from Cheshire East Council (“the Council”). The Council stated that it has provided everything it held within the scope of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the complainant’s request had more than one objective reading and therefore the Council was under a duty to clarify what the requestor was seeking. The Commissioner therefore finds that the Council has breached regulation 9 of the EIR by not providing adequate advice and assistance. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Issue a fresh response that is compliant with the EIR with reference to the clarified scope of the request.EIR 9: Complaint upheld
