Barrow Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Barrow Borough Council (the Council) relating to the rent arrears on individual garages. The Council withheld the information on the grounds that the exemption under section 40 (personal data) of the Act applied. The Commissioner has decided that the Council was correct to apply the exemption under section 40 of the Act to the requested information, and therefore the Council is not required to take any further steps in respect of this complaint.
