Dear Mr Nunn,

I have now had the opportunity to liaise with colleagues who administer
the Councils Complaints procedures and they advise as follows:

The Council destroys ombudsman complaints after 3 years, therefore I can
only answer the enquiry for that period of time.

Having looked at the relevant legislation, I confirm that:-

(1) There have been no notices served on the Local Government Ombudsman
over the last 3 years: and

(2) There have been no instances of the Council being found guilty of
maladministration for misusing a Section 32(3) notice over the last 3
years.

I trust this deals with your request satisfactorily.

Kind regards

Sue
