Dear Mr Nunn

Re: Freedom of Information

Thank you for your request for the following information:

During the last 5 years how many times has the LGO (as a result of investigating a complaint against Thurrock Borough Council) brought to the attention of the council the fact that a member of Thurrock Borough Council staff had misled them, lied to them or done anything else to hinder their investigation. If they have what disciplinary action was taken against the individual (s) concerned by the council

The information below has been supplied in response to your email for the

above mentioned information. We hope the information supplied satisfies your original request.

The Local Government Ombudsman (as a result of investigating a complaint against the Council) have never brought to the attention of the council the fact that a member of Council staff have misled them, lied to them or done anything else to hinder their investigation.

If you are unhappy with the Council's decision you can make a complaint via the

Council's complaints procedures and this will be looked into. If you are not happy with

this decision you may then appeal to the Information Commissioner.

Information supplied in response to your request is the copyright of Thurrock Council.
