  • Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld

The complainant requested information about the number of councillors and members of the corporate management team who had been in arrears on their council tax. The Commissioner’s decision is that Thanet District Council failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached Section 10 of the Freedom of Information Act. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request.
