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

I am emailing to respond to your FOI request to Wigan Council.

Your request was:

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

We do not hold any information relevant to your request - the Local
Government Ombudsman has not raised any of these issues with the Council.

I hope the response is clear and answers your request. If you are unhappy
with any aspect of this response, an independent senior officer will
review this decision. Please let me know if you would like to arrange
this.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner, who is the
regulator for Freedom of Information. His website is
[1]www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk, and his helpline number is 01625
545745. His staff may ask you to exhaust our internal complaints procedure
if you choose to complain to his office now.
