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 Bedford
Borough Council, brought to the attention of the council the fact
that a member of Bedford 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

a fee be paid for processing and delivering the information to you.
Details of any fee to be charged will be notified to you as soon as

Any future correspondence you may have with the Council in relation to
