Old Somerby Parish Council

The complainant has asked Old Somerby Parish Council for a copy of records which relate to his concerns about the accuracy of the Council’s minutes of meetings. The records which the complainant seeks are for the period 8 November 2017 and 27 November 2017. The complainant has also asked the Council for a copy of an audio recording made by the Clerk of the Council at its meeting of 8 November 2017. The Commissioner’s decision is that Old Somerby Council breached section 1 of the FOIA by failing to provide the complainant with a copy of the recording it held at the time it received his request, or to issue an appropriate refusal notice under section 17 of the FOIA. She has also decided that the council breached section 1 of the FOIA by failing to provide the complainant with a copy of the emails which passed between councillors and its former Clerk which were generated from the date of the complainant’s request to the meeting of the Council on 13 September 2017. The Commissioner has decided the Council has now complied with the complainant’s request. She is satisfied that, on the balance of probability, the Council has latterly located and provided the complainant with copies of all of the information it holds in respect of his request. In doing so the Council has breached section 10 of the FOIA.
