The complainant requested information regarding the costs of repainting road markings in a particular location. Colchester Borough Council (the Council) initially stated that it did not hold the requested information. However, it disclosed information to the complainant in its internal review response. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council confirmed that the requested information was not held and that it had created information in order to respond to the request and to assist the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this notice.
