Cases involving both a Local Government Ombudsman & the Parliamentary Ombudsman

Mr & Mrs Malcolm Wain

Exposing how a Local Government Ombudsman enabled Stoke on Trent City Council and the Government to be totally exempt from English Law. Local Government Ombudsmen are the people complainants turn to for administrative justice but in our case the Local Government Ombudsman just misdirected and delayed us until we were out of time for a fair hearing before a proper Court of Law.

Cases involving only a Local Government Ombudsman

Andy Sharp

A case history proving that planning regulations can be ignored by my council and the LGO will simply condone the subsequent cover up.


Keith Edmunds

A case history demonstrating how the corrupt Local Government Ombudsman system covers up for Local Authority Councils when they have committed maladministration and, how far they are prepared to go to perpetrate these cover ups - in my case - aiding and abetting perjury, which is of course a criminal offence.

L Johnston

What follows is an account of a case of gross maladministration on the part of the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority and the way the Ombudsman mishandled a complaint. Every point made can be documented.

LGO Reporter

Exposing the blunders of inept, incompetent, Carlisle City Council Officers, and the shenanigans they use to cover up maladministration. Exposing how the corrupt, dishonest, deceitful, and biased Local Government Ombudsman conceal incriminating evidence, misrepresent facts, manipulate evidence, fail to follow their published guidance, con the public, and cover up Council maladministration with the wilful intent of perverting the course of justice.

LGO Victim

Grants: Worcester City Council and the LGO's cover up of Council maladministration.

BrillMum

I had known what I knew now I wouldn’t have even bothered to put in a complaint about the social workers who abused my family. The process is so traumatic and the end result is nil even though findings of maladministration were found.

Peter Moulder

My 24-year fight for justice against Dover District Council, who unlawfully demolished my home.  A factual account of my dispute with the Council, which started in 1984 and still continues today, almost a quarter of a century later.

Trevor Nunn

My 18 year fight for justice against Vale Royal Borough Council, Cheshire County Council and, for the last 12 years, the Local Government Ombudsman. Please note that Vale Royal Borough Council and Cheshire County Council ceased to exist at the end of March 2009, both being replaced with a new Unitary Council known as Cheshire West and Chester. In addition Pat Thomas, York LGO retired during 2005 and was replaced by Anne Seex.

Introduction

Have you first hand experience of a Public Service or Local Government Ombudsman?

Were you  let down by an incompetent Ombudsman's office?

Do you think the investigator was biased?

Do you thing the Ombudsman's decisions were irrational?

Do you think the Ombudsman tried to get the public authority of the hook rather than deal with your complaint properly?

Would you like others to know about the injustice you have suffered as a result of Public Authority maladministration and the Ombudsman's failure to adequately resolve the problem?

Then why not consider writing a case study to highlight the failings of the particular Ombudsman.
