Monitoring officer reports

The request was successful.

Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would appreciate copies of all monitoring officer reports issued
by the North Wiltshire DC following admission and or agreement by the North Wiltshire DC that they had committed
maladministration causing injustice, as evidenced through an local
settlement agreed with the Local Government Ombudsman, as well as any
monitoring officer report produced following a formal finding by
the Local Government Ombudsman for the last six years.

If a monitoring officer report has not been produced, I should
appreciate clarification if the Council rejected both the
Ombudsman's findings and their recommendations in relation to each
local settlement agreed, and copies of all associated
documentation for the last six years.

Yours faithfully,

Stuart Hardwicke Carruthers

North Wiltshire District Council

North Wiltshire District Council

Dear Mr Hardwike Carruthers

I have today heard from the appropriate officer of the council.

North Wiltshire District Council has always accepted and acted upon
Ombudsman's decisions whether by way of local settlement or substantive
findings. Ombudsman decisions are monitored by the Corporate Management
Team which will decide what, if any steps should be taken to prevent, or
reduce the risk of future maladministration. No Monitoring Officer reports
have been produced as a result of the Ombudsman's decisions.

If you are dissatisfied with the response to your request and wish to
complain, please contact me in the first instance giving full details of
your complaint. This will then be considered by the Council's Deputy Chief
Executive, who will review any decision taken regarding the disclosure of
the information requested. You will normally be notified of the outcome of
this review within 20 working days of receipt of a complaint. You will be
advised if the review is likely to take longer.

If you remain dissatisfied following this internal review, you have the
right to refer your complaint to the Information Commissioner. Details of
how to contact the Information Commissioner in such circumstances will be
given at the time you are notified of the outcome of the Council's internal
review.

Regards

Sally Armstrong
