Hastings Borough Council

The complainant has requested information about ideas submitted to Hastings Brough Council (the Council) for community projects on which to spend money awarded through the Towns Fund. The Council refused to disclose the information, citing regulations 12(5)(e) (Confidentiality of commercial or industrial information) and 12(5)(f) (Interests of the person who provided the information) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has not demonstrated that it was entitled to rely on either regulation to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the withheld information. In doing so it should redact personal data, in accordance with regulation 13 (Personal data) of the EIR

EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint upheld EIR 12(5)(f): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: ic-111386
