Thanet District Council

The complainant requested information about representations that the Council had made to the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government and its predecessor department. 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 FOIA. 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.
