London Borough of Croydon
- Date 26 June 2023
- Type Enforcement notice
- Sector Local government
The London Borough of Croydon (the Council) has been served with an Enforcement Notice as a result of evidence seen by the Commissioner about its performance in relation to its statutory duties under the Freedom of information Act. At the date of the notice the Council has not demonstrated sufficient progress in its FOIA compliance since the Commissioner issued a Practice Recommendation in September 2022. For Q4 of the financial year 2022/23 it only responded to 63.64% of requests within the statutory 20 working days.
The Enforcement Notice requires the Council to provide responses to requests that are over 20 working days old and to devise and publish an action plan to mitigate delays.
