This page was about Local Government Ombudsman Watchers submitting a petition/petitions to the Government.


Anyone can submit a petition to the above website. This page has been set up to allow everyone and anyone to help get the wording right for one or more Ombudsman Watcher's petitions.

Suggested petition wording:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to implement Sir Geoffrey Chipperfield's 1995 recommendations and abolish Local Government Ombudsmen.

Sir Geoffrey Chipperfield recommended abolition of the LGO because they were an unnecessary institution whose work could best be carried out by other bodies. His report was subverted by the interference of the then LGO and its allies. Since then the LGO has demonstrably failed to improve the system, and continues to exclude the public interest from their remit. Irrefutable evidence of its dishonesty and bias has been gathered by LGOWatch since 2003. The LGO is counter-productive to effective management in local government and a blight on the human rights of citizens looking to this publicly funded institution to act in good faith. On the rare occasions when it is found, the intervention of the LGO tends to entrench maladministration rather than put a stop to it. The continuance of this office is not in the public interest.

The petition has now been submitted to the e-gov petition website.
All petitions have to be verified and the process can take up to 5 working days.

This page has now been locked. Thomas

Even if the government don't listen at least we will have registered public dissatisfaction with the LGO.

It looks like this is the future for people who are ignored by corrupt organisations such as the Local Government Ombudsman. The internet has allowed people power to take a hold in this country and the sooner they use it to get rid of the biased, unfair and totally corrupt Local Government Ombudsmen the better. Then let's move on to corrupt local authorities, the well known breeding ground for corrupt ombudsmen.

And I should know, P Thomas
