Ards and North Down Borough Council

The complainant has requested a copy of the final agreed proposal from an independent marketing company, namely Social Market Research (“SMR”), used in respect of market research for the now withdrawn Kinnegar to Donaghadee Greenway proposal. Ards and North Down Borough Council (“the Council”) disclosed some of the information to the complainant but withheld the methodology section of SMR’s Quotation Submission by virtue of section 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was correct to withhold the information under section 43 of FOIA. He does not require the public authority to take any further steps.

FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 225195
