The complainant has requested information relating to gas safety certificates and details of costs associated with the cemetery and memorial area of a specific road. The council asked the complainant to pay a fee of pounds 25 for provision of the information. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the council provided the information to the complainant electronically. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council failed to issue a valid fees notice and failed to confirm or deny whether the requested information was held. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
