Central Bedfordshire Council

The Commissioner’s decision is that Central Bedfordshire Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to provide a valid response to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner also finds that Central Bedfordshire Council breached regulation 14(3) of the EIR as it incorrectly issued its response under FOIA and not the EIR. No steps are required. However, should the complainant request an internal review, Central Bedfordshire Council must reconsider the original request under the EIR.
