Cornwall Council

The complainant requested information about tree works carried out on a specific road. Cornwall Council (the “council”) refused the request but revised its position during the Commissioner’s investigation and disclosed information to the complainant. The complainant asked the Commissioner to determine whether the council disclosed all the information it holds. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council disclosed all the requested information it holds but that it failed to do this in time, breaching regulation 5(2). He also finds that the council’s internal review was late and that it breached regulation 11(4). The Commissioner does not require the council to take further steps.
