  • Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 16: Upheld

The complainant has requested information relating to the lease and rent agreements for several local sporting facilities. Petersfield Town Council (“PTC”) disclosed some information but stated that it did not hold the remainder of the information described in the request. The Commissioner is satisfied that, on the balance of probabilities, PTC does not hold the requested information. However, it has breached section 16 by failing to provide advice and assistance to the complainant about his request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
