Yesterday I made a request to the council to explain why the archives were now closing school records for a period of 100 years. I received a response this morning which stated they were closed due to the Information Commissioner's decision based on a complaint it received about Powys County Council's closure of such records. The decision can be read at http://www.ico.org.uk/~/media/documents/decisionnotices/2011/fs_50314844.ashx Whilst I think the review is flawed in a couple of areas and the justification used is in my opinion being over sensitive I feel the commissioner has no choice based on present legislation.
