At 9pm today (Sunday) the 200th person signed Graham’s petition to get rid of the Local Government Ombudsmen. Please keep signing so we can put even more pressure on the Government to get rid of the LGO. You only have another 5 days in which to sign the petition.

Read the results of a nine month research project which suggests that Council Officers can lie with impunity to Local Government Ombudsmen and their staff. You can also take part in the follow up research by sending us evidence of a Council Officer misleading, or lying to, a Local Government Ombudsman or their staff for inclusion in the final part of this research.

The evidence section of the website is now open after delays due to holidays and health problems. We have a tremendous amount of evidence to upload and it will take some time to finish our task. If you have any evidence you would like to add to the archive then please send us a copy. If your evidence is already on-line please send us the URL and we will link to it.
