     Dear Henry, Liam,

     Thank you for the information provided so far. Could you please
     clarify what you mean by 'full' findings. I wasn't aware there was
     any other kind?

     Yours sincerely,

     A Johnson

     Thanks

     I would respond as follows

     a) this information is not fully available at this authority as
     records for the last ten years are not all available, the Council
     having a practice of discarding non essential records older than
     six years. The information may be available at the office of the
     Local Government Ombudsman. I can advise from personal knowledge
     that this authority has had no full findings of maladministration
     leading to an injustice since its inception in 1974

     b) To my knowledge, none

     c) To my knowledge, none

     Should you remain dissatisfied with this response you may make a
     complaint under the Council's complaints process, the details of
     which are available on our website at www.berwick-upn-tweed.gov.uk
     Alternatively you may wish to refer the matter to the Information
     Commissioner whose contact details are contained within the
     Council's complaints form

     Regards

     Liam Henry Berwick-upon-Tweed Borough Council

     PS The email address used is the correct one for FOIA requests
