Shelagh 1. If this was a private company, I can think of a long list of councillors and officers who would have been fired for breathtaking incompetence. They really are an appalling shower. 2. Don't waste your time with the Ombudsman. I sent them detailed documentary evidence of specific councillors lying in public meetings, with dates and minutes and emails, and countless examples of breaches of the members code of conduct, and countless examples of prevarication and refusal to answer questions or stick to policy by the council. The ombudsman wrote to LBH and asked them to respond to all my questions. LBH took nearly 6 months to give answers but instead of censuring them for taking so long, the LGO kept telling me "oh, we haven't heard anything so we've given them another month". Eventually, they wrote and told me that LBH had simply informed them that it was all above board and I was making a fuss about nothing and it really was none of my business anyway. And the Ombudsman simply accepted that and told me they were closing my complaint. So don't bother. |
