From: A Johnson <[FOI #2342 email]>
To: "Henry, Liam" <[email address]>

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
