West Lindsey District Council

The complainant submitted a request to West Lindsey District Council (the council) for information about the publication of council tax arrears relating to individuals, including councillors. The council provided some information in response to the request. However, the complainant considers that, in response to part 4 of that request, the council should also have confirmed the number of councillors who were in arrears. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council obtained the correct objective reading of part 4 of the request and provided a response in accordance with that objective reading. The Commissioner therefore finds that the council complied with section 1 (general right of access) of FOIA.
