Broxbourne Borough Council

The complainant has requested information from Broxbourne Borough Council which concerns the costs it incurred in bringing a prosecution against a named person for dropping a piece of orange peel. The Commissioner has investigated why the costs disclosed to the complainant are different from the costs the Council disclosed to the Hertford Mercury in its press release. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has complied with section 1 of the FOIA. He requires no further action to be taken in respect of this matter.
