Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant has requested a copy of the original bid submitted to Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (“the Council”) by 8th Wonder for the sale of three civic halls. The Council refused the request on the basis that it was manifestly unreasonable by virtue of regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse the request. He requires no steps to be taken.
