Highways England

The complainant has requested “the defined costs” associated with an invoice relating to an area of the road network that is maintained and improved by a particular contractor appointed by Highways England (HE). HE released some information and its position is that it does not hold the specific information requested.  The complainant’s position is that the released information is not what he requested and that HE holds the specific information he requested – “the defined costs” – but is withholding it. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: On the balance of probabilities HE does not hold information falling within the scope of the complainant’s request of 8 May 2018 and it has complied with section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA. HE has breached section 10(1) with regard to a separate request the complainant submitted on 18 June 2018 as it has yet to comply with section 1(1) with regard to this request. The Commissioner requires HE to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide the complainant with a response to his request of 18 June 2018 that complies with the FOIA.
