Yarm Town Council (Local Government): ICO 3 Dec 2019

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council’s response failed to comply with the requirements of section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a response to the complainant which complies with the procedural requirements of the FOIA.
