The complainant requested information from West Lancashire Borough Council (“the Council”) relating to Ormskirk Bus Station Toilets. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is not entitled to rely on section 41(1) (information provided in confidence) to withhold the requested information. However, he also finds that the Council is entitled to rely on section 40(2) (personal information) to withhold some information. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose the withheld information making appropriate personal data redactions as described in paragraph 24 of this notice. The Council must take these steps within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
