The Ombudsman investigated six complaints about the way Whanganui District Council responded to requests for official information in the first six months of the year.
The complaints related to delays in making a decision on a request, incomplete or inadequate response, part refusal of information and outright refusal.
Of the six complaints, two were upheld.
The complaints were lodged under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), which allows people to request official information held by local government agencies including councils.
