East Lindsey District Council

The complainant requested information from East Lindsey District Council (the Council) regarding rents charged for the Council’s kiosks/retail units at Grand Parade Entrance to Tower Gardens, Skegness. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly engaged section 43(2) (commercial interests) as the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. Therefore, the Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
