Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service

The Commissioner’s decision is that Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) is entitled to withhold the requested risk assessment information under section 12(5)(a) of the EIR. This exception concerns public safety. However, SFRS initially handled the request under FOIA. It therefore breached regulation 14 of the EIR, which concerns refusing to disclose information. The Commissioner doesn’t require further steps.
