Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant has requested information about the sale of council owned property under the Right to Buy scheme. Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (‘the Council’) disclosed much of the requested information, but refused to disclose the full postcodes of the properties in question, on the grounds that the information was exempt under section 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to apply section 40(2) to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.

FOI 40: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 198806
