Warrington Borough Council
The complainant’s request to Warrington Borough Council (the Council) comprised three parts, and related to a particular letter. The complaint to the Commissioner is focused on the third part of the request, where the complainant requested copies of internal correspondence discussing the letter. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on section 36(2)(b) of FOIA to withhold the information within scope of the third part of the request, but the Council breached sections 10 and 17 of FOIA because it did not respond to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken following this decision notice.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 36: Complaint not upheld
