West Midlands Combined Authority

The complainant asked a series of questions about the Soho Rd BID and planters placed in the area. The West Midlands Combined Authority (the “WMCA”) failed to answer the request until they responded to a request for internal review.
The Commissioner’s decision is that, on a balance of probabilities, the WMCA does not hold any further information in scope of the request. However, they failed to provide a response to the request for information until their internal review which was outside the designated time frame and therefore breached section 10 and section 17 of FOIA. No steps are required as a result of this decision notice.
