Goldshaw Booth Parish Council

The complainant requested a range of accounting information. Goldshaw Booth Parish Council (the “council”) provided some information. The complainant considers that the council failed to deal with their request in accordance with the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has not complied with section 1(1) of the FOIA and that it has failed to do this in the timeframe set in section 10(1). The Commissioner requires the council issue a new response which either confirms or denies whether the requested information is held and, where it is held, provides it; or cites a relevant provision which removes this duty. In doing so the council should note the observations contained in this decision notice.
