Dear Sir or Madam,

During the last five years how many times has the Local Government
Ombudsman (as a result of investigating a complaint against
Macclesfield Borough Council) brought to the attention of the
council the fact that a member of Macclesfield 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.

Yours faithfully,

Trevor R Nunn
