Lincolnshire County Council

The complainant requested various information about a proposed Prohibition of Motor Vehicles Order. Lincolnshire County Council provided some information and withheld other information under regulations 12(4)(d) (material in the course of completion) and 12(4)(e) (internal communications). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council disclosed some additional information but maintained that the remaining information was exempt under regulations 12(4)(e) and 13 (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council correctly applied regulations 12(4)(e) and 13 to continue to withhold the remaining information relevant to the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
