Medway Council
- Date 16 December 2015
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 12.4.e: Not upheld, EIR 13.1: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to a statutory consultation about a proposed traffic regulation order. Medway Council disclosed some information, confirmed other information was not held and withheld other information under the EIR exceptions for personal data (regulation 13) and internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e)). The Commissioner’s decision is that Medway Council correctly withheld information under regulation 13(1) and regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR but, in failing to conduct a proper internal review in 40 working days, it breached regulation 11(4). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
