Gedling Borough Council

The complainant has requested information relating to a complaint they have raised about a specific Councillor. Gedling Borough Council (“the Council”) disclosed some information in response to the request but redacted the majority of the information because it considered that the information within scope was the personal data of third parties and that disclosure wold breach the GDPR principles. The Commissioner’s decision is that, as the information concerns events involving the complainant which led to them raising the complaint, all of the information falling within the scope of the request is in fact the complainant’s own personal data. She has therefore applied section 40(1) of the FOIA proactively to prevent disclosure of the withheld information. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps

FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50851255
