Fareham Borough Council

The complainant has requested information from Fareham Borough Council (“the Council”) relating to information about a complaint they submitted regarding a specific Councillor. The Council provided the complainant with some information within the scope of their request, however it refused to disclose the remainder, citing section 40(2) as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 40(2) to the withheld information, therefore the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
