Dear Mr Nunn,
I am unable to find any record of your request of 7 January, other than on the What do they Know Website at the link you provided below. If you can confirm to what address you sent this request, I can investigate further. However I have now passed your complaint to the corporate complaints manager, who will respond to the request referred to as soon as possible, but in any event before 10 August.
Yours sincerely
A Marshall

Dear Mr Nunn

I write in response to your recent email to our FoI team. Firstly let
me apologise to you for the delay in responding. Having read the
information on the “whatdotheyknow” website, I believe there are two
issues to be dealt with. One is a response to your enquiry of 7 January
2009 and the second is request of 13 July 2009, for an investigation
into the earlier request.

In response to your FoI request, I can confirm that there have been no
occasions in the last 5 years in which the Ombudsman has “brought to
the attention of the council the fact that a member of Bristol City
Council staff had misled them, lied to them or done anything else to
hinder their investigation”. You may want to confirm this with the
Ombudsman.

In terms of the investigation, I note that the FoI team responded to
you on 28 July 2009, stating that your email of 7 January 2009 had not
been received and they were unaware of your request until they received
your email dated 13 July 2009. No explanation for this is available but
it is likely that it was some form of technical fault.

This response should answer your request in full and should also have
dealt with the complaint you had about your request. Should you wish to
take this matter further, you will now need to do so with the
Information Commissioner, details of your right to complain can be found
at http://www.ico.gov.uk/complaints.aspx
