Literally on the eve of polling for this year’s District Council
elections the Information Commissioner published his decision in respect of the
request for public disclosure of Knowle related documents by local resident
Jeremy Woodward under the Freedom of Information Act. The Information
Commissioner determined that the actions of the District Council had effectively
delayed the conclusion of the Commissioner’s considerations for 9 months. This
allowed the outcome of the Commissioner’s investigations and the publication of
documents to be delayed until electors had gone to the polls on 7 May.
More on the outcome of the decision by the Information Commissioner to
find in a damning manner against the District Council will be covered by Zorro.
Following the Information Commissioner’s decision the District Council
has started the process of releasing documents related to the relocation. On 15
May it published documents covering the period 2009 to 2013. This was reported
in the Exmouth Journal and the Sidmouth Herald on the same day –
