- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant requested information from the London Borough of Redbridge (“the Council”) relating to wheelie bins. By the date of this notice, the Council had not provided a response to the requests.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to respond to the requests 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.
The Council must issue a substantive response to the requests in accordance with its obligations under the FOIA.
The Council must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
