Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant submitted two requests for information to Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) in relation to car parking matters managed by the Council and data held by the Council regarding equality. In relation to the first request, the Council provided some information, but refused to comply with the remainder of the request under section 12(1) (costs) of the FOIA. With regards to the second request, it disclosed part of the information requested, withheld part of it citing section 22(1) (information intended for future publication) of the FOIA and stated that it did not hold the remainder of the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly relied on section 12(1) of the FOIA when it refused to comply with parts 12-17 of the first information request; correctly stated that it did not hold information in recorded form within the scope of part 6 of the second information request; and as the withheld information under section 22(1) of the FOIA (information intended for future publication) was published during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, she did not deem it necessary to consider the application of this exemption. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any step in order to comply with this decision notice.

FOI 1: Complaint not upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
