Warwick District Council

The complainant requested information relating to various statutory or safety inspections, over a specified period, conducted by the public authority for the council-owned property he lives in. The public authority disclosed information on current inspections but explains that records of previous inspections are not retained by it. The complainant maintains that more information should be held as there are various statutory requirements to hold historical copies of such records. The Commissioner is satisfied that no further information is held by the public authority and that this has highlighted possible shortcomings in the public authority’s record-keeping policies and procedures. He finds that the public authority has breached regulation 11 and regulation 14 of the Environmental Information Regulations. The Commissioner requires no action to be taken.
