The request was successful.

From: Trevor R Nunn

14 January 2009

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
Warrington Borough Council) brought to the attention of the council
the fact that a member of Warrington 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

Dear Mr Nunn

On the basis of the information which the Council currently has in
relation to complaints to the Ombudsman, the response to your query is
"none".

If you are not satisfied with my response to your request for information,
you may ask the Council for an internal review of this decision. You
should write to Ian Mason, acting Solicitor to the Council and Head of
Corporate Governance, at Warrington Borough Council, Quattro, Buttermarket
Street, Warrington WA1 1BN giving details of your complaint. You should do
this as soon as possible, or, in any case, within two months of your
request being refused.

If, following the outcome of the internal review, you remain dissatisfied
with the Council's response to your information request, you have a right
under section 50 of the Act to appeal to the Information Commissioner at:
