Walberswick Parish Council

The complainant asked Walberswick Parish Council (the council) to provide information on various matters including the council’s code of conduct, correspondence submitted to the council, the council’s standing orders, and advice provided to the council. The Information Commissioner’s decision is that the council did not comply with sections 1, 10 and 17 of the FOIA when responding to the complainant’s request. This is because it did not provide the requested information, or a valid refusal notice, within 20 working days of receiving the request. The Information Commissioner (the Commissioner) notes that the council has now provided a new response to the complainant’s request. He does not require the council to take any steps.
