Bristol City Council
The complainant requested information on Bristol City Council (the council) decisions to fell trees. He asked the council to provide the requested information via public access to the live database used by its officers when these decisions are recorded. The council said that it does not record details of the reasons why trees are felled on this database. It also said that it was not reasonable under the circumstances for it to provide live public access to the database used by its tree officers. It therefore provided some of the information which it holds which falls within the scope of the request by email. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was not correct to state that all relevant information had been disclosed. His decision is that the council holds further information in the form of relevant sections of its database which has not been disclosed to the complainant in response to his request for information. He has however decided that it was correct to apply Regulation 6(1)(a) to refuse to provide the complainant with the information in the format in which he requested it. The Commissioner requires the council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose copies of the relevant entries on its Confirm database to the complainant (with personal data redacted).EIR 5(1): Complaint upheld EIR 6: Complaint not upheld
