- Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to the relocation of Newbiggin Library. Northumberland County Council disclosed some information and confirmed that other information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that Northumberland County Council has correctly confirmed that information is not held and complied with regulation 5(1) but that it wrongly handled the request under the FOIA and issued a late response, breaching regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
