LGO investigations.

The request was successful.

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

Coulston, Jackie, Bromley Borough Council

Thank you for your request for information which I received on 8
January. Your request is now receiving attention and you should hear
from the council within 20 working days of receipt.

Sometimes a fee is payable if it is estimated that a request will take a
council officer more than 18 hours to locate and copy the information
and to send it out. If that is the case, I will let you know and a fees
notice will be sent to you. You will then have to pay before we can
proceed to deal with your request.

Please contact me if you have any concerns.

Best wishes

Jackie Coulston (Mrs)

Dear Mr Nunn

Thank you for your FOI request dated 7th January.

During the last five years the Local Government Ombudsman has not
highlighted any instances where a member of our staff has misled, lied
or hindered his investigation. Therefore, no disciplinary action has
resulted.

I trust this answers your enquiry adequately.

Regards,

Kaye Palmer (Mrs)
