The complainant requested copies of letters between the Poppleton Community Trust (PCT) and Nether Poppleton Parish Council (NPPC) on specific dates. NPPC responded providing copies of a number of letters but refused to comply with the remainder of the request on the grounds that the letter in question was of a personal nature and did not concern council business. The Commissioner investigated and has found that the information was not held by NPPC at the time of the request. However, NPPC breached certain procedural requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0144 struck out.
