Complaints

Trevor R Nunn made this Freedom of Information request to Christchurch Borough Council

The request was partially successful.

From: Trevor R Nunn

3 October 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

Pre-question clarification: A complaint against a council may
consist purely on an administrative error or it may also include a
potentially criminal act and/or infringements of a complainants
civil rights (legal and/or human rights).

Therefore, I would like the following information, over the last 12
months, as a percentage of total complaints against the council how
many ended up being dealt with by,

1)the Local Government Ombudsman?

2)the Police?

3)Solicitors and/or the courts?

Yours faithfully,

Trevor R Nunn

Dear Mr Nunn,

Thank you for your enquiry concerning complaints ( below ).

The Council introduced a new recording system for complaints on 12
November 2007, so I am unable to provide data for the 12 months you
requested. For the period 12 November 2007 - 30 September 2008, the
proportion of complaints made against the Council that resulted in them
being dealt with by the various organisations you stated was as follows:

a) Local Government Ombudsman - 0%
b) the Police - 0%
c) Solicitors and/or the courts - 0%

If you require any further information, please get in touch.

Yours sincerely
