Tydd St Mary Parish Council

  • Date 13 December 2021
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Not upheld, FOI 10(1): Upheld

The complainant requested emails and other information relating to the council’s actions regarding football facilities. The majority of the information was provided; however, the complainant considers that more information is held. The council disputes that that is the case, however during the course of the Commissioner's investigation further information was located by the council’s solicitors. This was disclosed to the complainant outside of her rights under the FOI Act. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on a balance of probabilities, the council has now complied with section 1 of the Act as it does not hold any further information. He has however decided that it did not comply with the complainant's rights under section 10 of the Act in that it did not provide the complainant with all of the information which she requested within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
