- Decision(s) FOI 1: Upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested information about the cost of temporary accommodation used by Taunton Deane Borough Council (“the council”) to accommodate families that it has a statutory responsibility to house. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has failed to respond to the request within the statutory time for compliance, and therefore breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the council to provide the complainant with a response to her request which complies with the requirements of section 1(1) of the FOIA, or issue a valid refusal notice.
