The complainant requested information relating to his concern with the safety of pedestrians crossing a named road at a particular location and his wish to see a crossing installed there. The Commissioner decided that Surrey County Council complied with its obligations under FOIA sections 12(1) (cost of compliance) and 16(1) (provision of advice and assistance). However Surrey County Council did not respond to the information request promptly and did not comply with its obligation to reply not later than the twentieth working day following the date of receipt as required by section 10(1) FOIA. The Commissioner did not require Surrey County Council to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation arising from this decision.
