Ashurst Parish Council
- Date 24 August 2018
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested from Ashurst Parish Council (the Council) information regarding documents in the SWAB Drop box facility. ‘SWAB’ is an acronym for Steyning, Wilston, Ashurst and Bramber parish councils, a cluster of four parish councils which worked together to produce the Neighbourhood Plan.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council failed to respond to the request within the statutory time limit of 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 (time for compliance) of the FOIA.
As the requested information has now been provided, the Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps.
