Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP)

The complainant requested information relating to a skate park proposal from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (“the council”). The council initially refused the request under section 43(2) of FOIA. Following an internal review the council refused the request on the basis that section 14(1) of FOIA applied (vexatious request). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse the request for information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any further steps.
