The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide a response which complies with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 for the requests quoted at paragraphs 7 and 10. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 12: Complaint partly upheld
