- Decision(s) EIR 11: Upheld
The complainant has requested information from Warrington Borough Council about surveyor’s findings regarding a collapsed wall, details of the creation of a nearby pedestrian crossing and of a road widening scheme.
The Commissioner’s decision is that Warrington Borough Council (“the Council”) has failed to carry out a reconsideration (internal review) of a response it provided, under the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”), within 40 working days and has therefore breached Regulation 11 of the EIR.
The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Reconsider how it responded to the original request and inform the complainant of the outcome of that reconsideration in accordance with Regulation 11 of the EIR.
