Lambeth London Borough Council

The complainant has requested various reports including health and safety reports and asbestos survey reports for specific properties in Brixton. The London Borough of Lambeth (“LB Lambeth”) denied holding the requested information but, after the complainant requested an internal review, it found some relevant information and disclosed it. It argued that it held no further Casework created date: (From E088 report) 25 August 2021 information. However, it found and disclosed additional information within the scope of the requests during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, the LB Lambeth does not hold any further information within scope of the requests. However, the Commissioner has concluded that LB Lambeth breached the requirements of regulation 5(2) in failing to provide all the information it held within the scope of the requests within 20 working days. No steps are required.
