Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council
The complainant sent a follow-on request for information regarding Waste Services overseen by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council. The Council stated it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the public authority has not complied with regulation 5(1) of the EIR because it has not considered whether information was held on its behalf. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: • to conduct adequate searches of the Council’s systems and documents to establish if the requested information is held and issue a fresh response in accordance with its obligations under the EIR. • Issue a fresh response, to the request, on the basis that information held by the Tomorrow Valley Group is also held on behalf of the public authority. The public authority must take these steps within 30 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.
