London Borough of Bromley

The complainant requested from the London Borough of Bromley (“the Council”) a copy of a report regarding a private company’s delivery of parking enforcement services. The Council provided some information to the complainant but withheld other information under sections 36 and 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 40(2) but that it has incorrectly applied section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) and 36(2)(c) to the information that it has withheld under that exemption. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose to the complainant the information that it has withheld under section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) and 36(2)(c). Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0244 dismissed.
