Ribble Valley Borough Council
The complainant has requested information held by Ribble Valley Borough Council (the council) about a complaint that may have been made against certain members of a parish council. The council cited various exemptions under FOIA as its basis for refusing certain parts of the request. It is the Commissioner’s decision that the council should have refused to confirm or deny whether it holds any information relevant to the request under section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA. As the council failed to issue a refusal notice within 20 working days, the Commissioner has found a breach of section 17(1) of FOIA.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
Decision notice: 181096
