Welcome to Local Government Ombudsman Watch
The objective of Local Government Ombudsman Watch is to motivate others into campaigning for the abolition of the LGO or its replacement with a truly independent local government complaints commission, where no commissioner previously worked as a council Chief Executive Officer. One that doesn't bury complaints and maladministration for their friends and ex colleagues. For the first time, councils will have something to fear when citizens threaten to complain to the local government watchdog.
