The complainant requested information concerning car park charges from South Hams District Council (the council). The council initially responded beyond the statutory timeframe, stating that the information was not held but subsequently provided the requested information at internal review stage. The complainant requested that a decision notice be issued by the Information Commissioner recording the delay. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA by issuing a response outside the legislative timeframe. As the council has now provided a substantive response, the Commissioner does not require any remedial steps to be taken.
