Redmond must be pig sick. Two years after coming to office LGOwatch started. No doubt that's why Osmotherly bailed out when he did. Like most public servants they move on before the damage they have done hits the fan. That's why Seex left Norwich council. Still after 6 years he still hasn't improved the system so it must be his time to move on before the damage he has done hits the fan. Next ombudsman please!
