Calder and Aberdeenshire Council: SIC 24 Nov 2015

SIC Peterhead Futures and Town Team Groups – On 20 February 2015, Mr Calder asked Aberdeenshire Council (the Council) for agendas and minutes of the Peterhead Futures Group and Peterhead Town Team Group, with related correspondence.
The Council responded following a request for review. It issued some information to Mr Calder, but withheld other information from him. Mr Calder remained dissatisfied with aspects of the handling of the request and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
The Commissioner investigated and found that the Council had responded to Mr Calder’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA. However, she also made a recommendation to the Council about its practice of redacting information.
