Bristol City Council

  • Date 20 March 2026
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 12(4)(b): Upheld

The complainant has requested information relating to road blocks installed by Bristol City Council (“the council”) as part of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood project. The council refused the request as manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request has been incorrectly categorised as vexatious under the manifestly unreasonable exception at regulation 12(4)(b) EIR. The Commissioner requires the council to reconsider the request and provide the requested information or issue a valid response which does not rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR.
