Dear Sir or Madam,

Over the last five years

(1) How many Local Government Act Part III Section 32(3) notices
has your council served on a Local Government Ombudsman.

(3) How many times has the Ombudsman concerned found the council
guilty of maladministration for misusing a Section 32(3) notice.

Yours faithfully,

Trevor R Nunn

Dear Mr Nunn

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request - LG Act 1974 Part III
Section 32(3) notices which has been passed to the relevant area of the
authority for their response. In the meantime, if I can be of any further
assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards

Dear Mr Nunn

Thank you for your enquiry but in order to assist you with the correct
response I wonder if you are able to clarify your request in more detail.
We are not aware of any Section 32 (3) of any local government act that
relates to notices to an ombudsman.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Dear Julia Crocker,

If you read the 1974 Local Government Act you will note that Part
III refers to the Local Government Ombudsman otherwise known as the
Commission for Local Administration. If you then look at Section 32
subsection 3 you will find the notices I refer to when I say LG Act
Part III Section 32(3) notices. Your legal department should have a
copy of the said Act but it is also available on line. If you are
still having problems finding a copy of the said Act if you let me
know I will send you a copy.

Yours sincerely,

Trevor R Nunn

Dear Mr Nunn

Thank you for clarifying your Freedom of Information enquiry and I can now
confirm that North Dorset District Council has not used the provisions in
the 1974 Local Government Act, relating to the service of notices on the
Local Government Ombudsman.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Regards
