Shrewsbury Town Council
The complainant requested all emails and documents exchanged between the Shrewsbury Town Council and Apricus Property Limited. Shrewsbury Town Council responded after more than 20 working days stating it was unable to provide the requested information due to commercial interests. However, following a review it stated that it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Shrewsbury Town Council does not hold the requested information based on the balance of probabilities and therefore complied with Section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA. However, it breached Section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not comply with Section 1 promptly and in any event, within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require Shrewsbury Town Council to take any action to ensure compliance with the legislation.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
