London Borough of Islington

Summary wording for website: The complainant has requested information about road construction and maintenance, and traffic incidents, on a particular street in particular years. London Borough of Islington Council (‘the Council’) released some information and its position, which the complainant disputes, is that it holds no further relevant information. The Commissioner’s decision is that: The Council has breached section 1(1) of the FOIA because it has not communicated to the complainant all the information it holds that falls within the scope of his request. The Council also breached section 10(1) as it did not comply with section 1(1) within the required timescale. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Release to the complainant any remaining information missing from the information it released to him on 15 February 2017. Carry out further searches for information falling within the scope of the request and, if relevant information is found, release this to the complainant if it does not engage a Part II exemption. Otherwise formally confirm to the complainant that no further information is held
