Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant requested information from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in relation to its statutory responsibility for the collection and kennelling of stray dogs pursuant to Section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council disclosed some on the requested information but stated the remainder was not held. During the Commissioner’s investigation the Council disclosed the remainder of the requested information which it held, albeit in breach of the statutory requirements under Sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council has breached Sections 1 and 10 of the FOIA. However, as the complainant is satisfied all of the outstanding information held falling within the scope of his request has been disclosed, the Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint upheld
