Bolton Council

The complainant has asked Bolton Council for copies of the highway inspection records, records of complaints and other associated information, for an identified section of highway during a two-year period. Bolton Council refused to comply with the complainant’s request in reliance on Regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR, on the grounds that disclosure of the information would adversely affect the course of justice. The Commissioner’s decision is that Bolton Council has correctly applied the exception to disclosure provided by Regulation 12(5)(b).

EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fer0865364
