- Decision(s) FOI 14(1): Not upheld
The complainants requested information from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (“the council”) relating to parking restrictions on a particular road. The council said that the requests were vexatious and refused to respond using the exemption under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the FOIA”). The complainants asked the Information Commissioner (“the Commissioner”) to consider whether the council had correctly refused to respond. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly applied section 14(1). She does not require any steps to be taken.
