Response

  1. This information is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. This information constitutes third-party personal data within the provisions of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“the UK GDPR”), as supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018 (“the DPA”). We consider that disclosure of this information would breach data protection principle (a) (i.e. that data “should be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject”). This individual would not reasonably expect their personal data to be disclosed in this context and therefore the Council is not providing the information.
  2. The post is vacant and still exists in our establishment. The Council holds no recorded or documented information regarding the future of the post.
  3. The settlements over the last two years total £209,070.08.
