LGO found to be biased towards councils and disamissive of complaints.
Dear The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman,
The LGO have a very poor reputation for being dismissive towards complaints from the public and working closely in support of local councils. They are known for being biased and partial towards local council authorities
In view of this I therefore request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act :
1. The number of LGO staff who are or have previously been employed by any council authority?
2. Whether any funding or financial support is provided to the LGO by any council or local authority ?
I await your response
Yours faithfully,
Rolan Newsom
