Cumberland Council

The complainant requested information relating to a consultation on winter road gritting. Cumberland Council (the “Council”) disclosed some information and confirmed that other information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly confirmed that it does not hold the consultation responses identified in the request and that it complied with section 1(1) but that in disclosing some of the requested information outside the statutory time limit it breached section 10(1). The Commissioner does not require further steps.
