An Undertaking to comply with the seventh data protection principle has been signed by Wolverhampton City Council. This follows a report in the press about the theft of a skip and the subsequent fly tipping of its contents. The skip contained personal data including bank details, employment records and medical information. The data was traced back to a local community leisure centre. The council confirms that leisure centre staff should not have disposed of personal data in a skip. The information has now been securely destroyed.
