London Borough of Waltham Forest
The complainant requested information from the London Borough of Waltham Forest (“the Council”) about ‘LTN’s (Low Traffic Neighbourhoods), Road Closures and Mini Holland’. The Council disclosed some of the requested information but cited section 40(2) of FOIA (personal information) as its basis for refusal to disclose the redacted information. It introduced additional reliance on section 31(1)(a)(b) of FOIA (law enforcement), and section 24 of FOIA (national security). During the Commissioners investigation, the Council amended its response changing its reliance to regulation 12(5)(a) (national security) of the EIR, and regulation 13(1) of the EIR (personal information) to withhold the redacted information. The Commissioner is satisfied that the Council is entitled to refuse to comply with the request for the redacted information on the basis of regulation 12(5)(a) and regulation 13(1) of the EIR and that the public interest favours maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further steps.
EIR 13(1):
Complaint not upheld
EIR 12(5)(a):
