Wokingham Borough Council

The complainant requested information from Wokingham Borough Council (“the Council”) relating to the future of a leisure centre. The Council withheld the requested information, citing section 43(2) of FOIA (commercial interests) and section 36 of FOIA (effective conduct of public affairs) as its bases for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on sections 36(2)(b)(i), 36(2)(b)(ii) and 36(2)(c) of FOIA to withhold all of the withheld information. He has therefore not gone on to consider the Council’s application of section 43(2). The Commissioner does not require further steps.

FOI 36(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 269331
