Burcot & Clifton Hampden Parish Council
The complainant requested from Burcot and Clifton Hampden Parish Council (“the council”) information relating to councillors’ communications with the clerk, and information relating to a specialist who was employed to respond to the request for information. The council disclosed some information, but said that other information was not held. It also withheld other information under section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has breached section 10(1) of FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. However, he has decided that the council was correct to apply section 40(2) to redact personal data from the information it disclosed. He has also decided that no further information is held by it for the purposes of section 1 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld
