Walsall Council

The complainant has requested information relating to the land at Oakwood Close, Walsall Wood. Walsall Council’s (“the council”) position is that it has provided all the information that is available. The Commissioner's decision is that the council failed to comply with section 1(1) of FOIA due to it not conducting proper searches for information falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner requires the council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. If it hasn’t already done so, the council must disclose to the complainant the 2003 public inquiry inspector’s report and the Aldridge / Brownhills Local Plan. The council must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 1: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 263357
