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

Your reference number is 144/0809.

Your request for information has now been considered and to the best of
my knowledge, we do hold this information as this situation has not
occurred.

I hope that you are satisfied with our response. However, if you are
dissatisfied in any way with the handling of your information request
your next step would be to clearly state in writing why you are
dissatisfied and the Council will treat this as a formal complaint in
accordance with our Compliments, Comments and Complaints policy. This
policy is available on the Council's website www.bolsover.gov.uk
<http://www.bolsover.gov.uk/> or by contacting the Customer Service and
