The complainant submitted a request to the Central Bedfordshire Council (‘the Council’) for information regarding the dates of visits Environmental Health Officers made in the period March to May 2006 in relation to a noise complaint. The Council did not provide a response to the complainant’s initial request. However, the complainant made a further request to the Council for the same information and the Council confirmed that the information was not held. The Commissioner has found that the Council has breached regulation 14(2) in failing to issue a refusal notice within the statutory time for compliance, and regulation 14(3)(a) in failing to cite the specific exception it relied upon in not disclosing the information requested. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action.
