Mellis Parish Council

The complainant has requested meeting recordings made on a recording device. Mellis Parish Council (the council) determined that although the recordings were made by the clerk of the council, it did not hold these recordings for the purposes of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the recordings were made by the clerk for personal reasons and therefore the council does not hold the recordings for the purposes of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
