Workington Town Council
- Date 2 May 2023
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Partly upheld, FOI 17: Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to advice the Council had received from the Cumbria Association of Local Councils (CALC). The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has complied with its obligations under section 1(1) of FOIA in response to some parts of the request, but not to others. The Council failed to respond within 20 working days and therefore breached section 17 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to confirm explicitly that it does not hold the information and issue a refusal notice.
