The Information Commissioner has criticised Edinburgh council for failing to reply to a Freedom of Information request in time.
The Scotsman report:
The City of Edinburgh Council has been heavily criticised for its lack of disclosure of information about a statutory repair scheme.
The council has been accused of overcharging hundreds of city residents for allegedly unnecessary building repair work and expending “a disproportionate amount” of the Information Commissioner’s resources by taking 16 months to release information that should have been disclosed within 20 working days, a report has said.
