Lancashire County Council
The complainant requested information from Lancashire County Council (“the Council”) regarding a contract for the maintenance of traffic signals. The Council provided some of the information requested, however it refused to disclose the amount paid under the contract for the maintenance of traffic signals in the county, citing section 43(2) of FOIA (commercial interests) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly relied on section 43(2) of FOIA and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld
Decision notice: 274134
