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 Rother
District Council) brought to the attention of the council the fact
that a member of Rother District 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

Dear Mr Nunn

With reference to your request received on 14 January 2009 about Local
Government Ombudsman complaints regarding any member of staff misleading,
lying to or doing somthing else to hinder an investigation, the answer is
that no such complaints have been received. Staff liaising with the
Ombudsman in relation to maladministration complaints are expected to
cooperate fully with the Ombudsman.

You may use our internal complaints procedure if you are dissatisfied. If
you are still dissatisfied you may appeal to the Information
Commissioner. Please contact Anne Bruin, Team Leader - Customer Services,
if you wish to complain.
