- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information held by St Helens Borough Council (“the Council”) relating to the funding and plans for the proposed Haydock Heritage Trail. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is environmental information and so is a request under the EIR and that the Council has provided all the information it holds falling within the scope of the request. However, the Council breached regulation 5(2) and regulation 11(4) of the EIR in that it failed to provide a response within 20 working days and failed to complete their internal review within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
