OMBUDSMAN WATCHERS RESOURCE CENTRE

Great work…so if we know the Deputy Chief Executive is a liar, its safe to assume that all his subordinates are liars too?

But what a relief it is to us all however that we can have every faith in the honesty, integrity and the utterly independent impartiality of the Ombudsman. Doesn’t that make you proud to be British.

Totally biased in favour of Councils. Waste of time and effort to report wrongdoing to them as, if in THEIR OPINION you have not suffered an injustice, then it’s ‘business as usual’ for maladministration et al.

I couldn’t agree more. Our neighbours opposite applied to extend their property way, way past their official LR boundary and in doing so obstruct 3 metres of the legal “right to pass” on our title deeds.

The crooked, corrupt Council assisted them in every way, such as offering them free legal advice as regards our objection. Advising the neighbours to change from “planning permission” to “planning developement ” so that the Council could not refuse the application. Copying a Land Registry stamp mark onto a totally false plan to make it appear it was approved by the Land Registry. When the LGO requested a 1:500 scale plan from the Council to overlay with our 1:500 deed plan, the Council purposely drew a false plan showing the two properties much further apart than what the actually were. They then submitted it to the LGO as an APPROXIMATE SURVEY, when clearly it was nowhere near approximate. The LGO believed the lies and BS fed to her by the LC instead of the factual evidence I sent her. It is therefore obvious the LGO is as bent and corrupt as the Councils which they are supposed to oversee. More bent than a wire coathanger.

2 Housing Officers lied about me behind my back to Social Services while sending me a letter saying “No further action to be taken!” They lied about me for 5 months while ignoring my complaints about noise nuisance and harassment. When I found out they refused to give me a reasonable explanation. A manager then backed them up he also lied. He lied to the LGO and said it wasn’t them who referred me to an NHS mental health trust but it was infact the Social Services. Totally ignoring the fact that if they wouldn’t have lied about me in the first place, then Social Services would not have even been contacted.

Eventually after about 1 year after complaining to the LGO, I was awarded £500:00 and a meaningless insincere default apology. Which stated that the housing officers were not responsible for what happened! Err I BEG YOUR PARDON?

IF GOVERNMENT NEED TO AXE PUBLIC SERVICES THEN IT SHOULD BE THE OMBUDSMAN BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FACT A WASTE OF TIME AND A NUISANCE TO SOCIETY. THE TAX PAYER SHOULD NOT BE FORCED INTO FUND THESE TYPES OF BROTHERHOOD ORGANISATION. PEOPLE WORK HARD TO FUND THESE ORGANISATION AND PAY PEOPLE TO DO NOTHING. TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND THEY ARE LEGALLY PROTECTED.

Complaint against Braintree District Council for failure to keep promises and intentions. LGO would not investigate and condoned BDC breaking their promises and intentions. Tony Redmond will not reply to e-mails or letters, does he exist? They are not impartial and should be disbanded as they support local council’s. We are still suffering from Braintree’s District Council’s incompetence of over a year ago with cars parked in our close encouraged there by BDC. They made all sorts of promises and intentions to placate the residents but kept none of them.Doug Thorpe thinks its OK for BDC to break promises and Tony Redmond remains silent.
