South Yorkshire Police

The complainant has requested information about meetings concerning a tree-felling operation, from South Yorkshire Police (“SYP”). SYP provided some information but withheld the remainder, citing sections 40(2) (personal information), 30(1)(a) (investigations and proceedings), 31(1)(a) (law enforcement), 38(1)(b) (health and safety) and 42(1) (legal professional privilege) of the FOIA. SYP subsequently withdrew reliance on sections 38 and 42 of the FOIA. The complainant has accepted that personal data may be redacted. The Commissioner’s decision is that SYP is entitled to rely on the exemptions at sections 30(1) and 31(1) of the FOIA, and that the public interest favours maintaining these exemptions. No steps are required.
