Central Bedfordshire Council

The complainant requested information about the adoption of a road. Central Bedfordshire Council (the “council”) disclosed some information and withheld other information under the exception for the course of justice (regulation 12(5)(b)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the exception in regulation 12(5)(b) is engaged but that, in this case, the public interest is weighted in favour of disclosing the information. The Commissioner requires the council disclose the withheld information, redacting any personal information in accordance with the Commissioner’s guidance.
