The complainant requested copies of correspondence between Wrexham County Borough Council (‘the Council’) and Geldards LLP Solicitors with regard to the former Grove Park School site in Wrexham. The Council failed to respond within the statutory 20 working days prescribed by FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not respond to the request within the timescale for compliance. As a substantive response has been provided to the complainant, he does not require any remedial steps to be taken.
