The complainant requested a copy of correspondence sent by a third party to Prestatyn Town Council (‘the Council’). The Council withheld the information requested under sections 40(1) and 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied section 40(1) to the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. However, further commentary on the implication of the Commissioner’s finding in relation to the Council’s obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 is set out in the ‘Other Matters’ section at the end of the Notice.
