Rother District Council

The complainant requested information about proposed dog control restrictions on the beach at Camber. In its initial response Rother District Council (the Council) provided a link to information on its website and stated it did not hold any further information. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council located additional information falling within the scope of the request, which it disclosed to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council does not hold any further information relevant to the request. However, the Commissioner finds that the Council breached section 10 of the FOIA in failing to provide some disclosable information within the statutory timescale. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
