- Decision(s) EIR 11: Upheld, EIR 12.4.b: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested details of the design and maintenance of traffic calming measures on a specific road. Staffordshire County Council (“the Council”) provided some of the information, advised some information within the scope of the request was not held and refused to provide some information by virtue of regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner considers that based on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold further information other than that which has been provided. Due to the Council taking longer than 20 working days to confirm this, it has breached regulation 5(2) and Regulation 11 of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
