Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant has requested information with regards to an independent consultant company being used by Wirral Borough Council (the council). The information sought was in relation to the work carried out by the consultancy company and monies paid by the council to them. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has breached section 10 of the FOIA by not providing a response within 20 working days. As the council has now provided a response, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
