The complainant requested information from Yarm Town Council (“the Council”) about a CCTV system. The Council responded, but did not inform the complainant whether it held the information he had requested, nor apparently consider any information for disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council’s response failed to comply with the requirements of section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a response to the complainant which complies with the procedural requirements of the FOIA.
