Newcastle Under Lyme Council

  • Date 20 December 2018
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 6.1: Not upheld, EIR 9.1: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information about noise recordings made by the council at his home. The council provided the information however the complainant believes that further information must be held. Further to this he argues that the council provided the information to him in a different format to that which he requested it and so it failed to comply with Regulation 6. He also argued that the council failed to provide help and assistance as required by Regulation 9. The Commissioner’s decision is that on a balance of probabilities the council has provided the information it holds to the complainant. She has also decided that the council’s response met with its obligations under Regulation 6 and Regulation 9. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0015 dismissed.
