Boreham Parish Council

  • Date 31 January 2025
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Upheld

The complainant requested information from Boreham Parish Council (“the Parish Council”) relating to a dog training business that operates on a recreation ground. The complainant believes that the Parish Council holds further information within the scope of parts four, five and six of the request, beyond that which it has already disclosed. However, the Parish Council’s position is that it has already disclosed all of the information it holds within the scope of these parts of the request (with the exception of a small amount of information redacted from one of the documents disclosed). The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Parish Council has not disclosed all of the information held within the scope of parts four, five and six of the request. The Commissioner requires the Parish Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the information that the Commissioner has determined is within scope of part six of the request as outlined in paragraph 29 of this notice; Carry out further searches designed to identify any further information held within parts four and five of the request and issue a fresh response to the complainant.
