Trafford Borough Council

The complainant has requested details of expenditure and purchase orders for 2024 from Trafford Council (“the Council”). The Council provided a link to information that it has published on its website, but this failed to address all parts of the request. Following an internal review, the Council advised the complainant that the request was vexatious under section 14(1) of FOIA.  The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was vexatious and he finds no breach of section 16(1) (Advice and assistance). No steps are required.
