Southend-On-Sea City Council
The complainant has requested information regarding an organisational structure chart, including job roles and pay scales, from the Southend-on-Sea City Council (“the Council”). Having made a number of disclosures, the Council advised that it had disclosed everything that had been requested. The Commissioner does not agree with this position. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council, on the balance of probabilities, does hold further information within the scope of the request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Conduct a further search for the requested information and issue a fresh response which either discloses that information or explains why it is exempt from disclosure. The Council 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 1: Complaint upheld
