London Borough of Camden

The complainant requested information from Camden Council (“the Council”) about an alleged restructure/organisational review of the Council’s Housing and Property Services.
The Council refused the request as it did not consider it to be a valid request pursuant to section 8 of FOIA. 
The Commissioner’s decision is that the initial request was a valid request for recorded information.
The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
•    Issue a fresh response to the request. 
•    Provide advice and assistance, if necessary.
The Council must take these steps within 30 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.
