The complainant requested copies of communications regarding traffic and the construction of a new school on Nine Acre Field in Wrexham. Wrexham County Borough Council (the Council) withheld the information requested under section 36 of the FOIA (effective conduct of public affairs). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council reconsidered the request under the EIR and sought to rely on regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(e) to the withheld information. She does not require any steps to be taken.
