Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant has requested from Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council (TMBC) a breakdown of how over £66,000 had been spent on repairs to a specific road in 2020. TMBC said that the figure, obtained via a previous request for information, was incorrect and that it had not spent £66,000 on maintaining the road. It said that as its maintenance contract operated on a ‘fixed sum’ basis, it did not hold granular information on costs ‘per-repair’ or ‘per-road’. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, TMBC does not hold the requested information and that its handling of the request complied with the requirements of section 1(1) of the FOIA. However, by failing to respond to the request within the statutory 20 working day time for compliance, TMBC breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the FOIA.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 1: Complaint partly upheld
