Council black mark from Ombudsman


T H E Ribble Valiev Council, which is bidding for the Government's^ Charter Mark for its housing strategy, has been dealt a black markup


by tlie Local Government Ombudsman. C oun cil o f f ic e rs have another part .o f the coun-


been censured for malad­ ministration concerning.a noisy neighbour dispute on a Ciitheroe council estate in 1900. A r e p o r t b y th e


Om b u d sm a n says th e council failed to in v e s t i­ gate complaints by a cou­ ple, who cannot bo named, “ impartially and even-han- de d ly” and is now being asked to o f fe r them an apology. B u t th e Ombudsman


rejected two fur ther com­ p la in ts bv th e co u p le , alleging th a t the council had acted improperly by n o t a l lo w in g th em to exchange the ir three-bed- roomed council house for a tw o -b e d ro om e d f la t in


t r y and' b y susp e n d in g


housing benefits after they had le f t the area. The Ombudsman’s find­


ings come only two weeks after the council launched its Citizen’s C har ter and tw o m o n th s a f t e r i t ap plied fo r th e C h a r te r Mark — an accolade which is intended to recognise h ig h s ta n d a rd s o f cus­ to m e r c a re i n • 1o c a 1 administration. Iro n ic a lly , the council


has put forward its hous­ ing record fo r considera­ tion for this accolade. But the council’s direc­


to r o f environmental ser­ vices, M r Dave M o r r is , says th a t th e Ombuds­ m a n ’ s r e p o r t has n o t injured its chances. “ I t is no embarrassment


to us at all,” he declared. "Citizens have the rig h t to complain. I t is part of the Gove rnm ent’s proposals for the Citizen’s Charter th a t c om p la in ts can be resolved independently. “ In this case, we felt we


had investigated the com­ p la in ts th o ro u g h ly , b u t w i th d isp u te s be tween neighbours there is always going to be someone le ft c om p la in in g . We have been asked to apologise and that presents us with no problem at all anil we will apologise. “ O u r ow n C i t iz e n ’s


Charter sets out residents’ r ig h ts to com plain and


actually gives the Ombudsman’s address and te le p h o n e n u m b e r i f needed. We have 1,000 council tenants and i f they have any reason to com­ plain then we w ill always t ry to deal with them pro­ perly and even-handedly.” M r Morris added tha t in


the recent case the Ombudsman had upheld


only one o f the couple’s three complaints, the more serious allegations having been dismissed. The re p o rt — released


to th e p re s s b y th e Ombudsman — is centred on council officers’ investi­ gations of complaints and


co u n te r claims be twe e fti n e ig h b o u rs ab out noisjj


nuisance, bad language and harassment.


I t points out th a t the


couple, who claimed the dispute had forced them to move from the area, were the subject o f a 12-name p e t it io n by neighbours. T h is l is te d in c id e n ts alleged to have occurred, on a regular basis in Sep-’ tember two years ago. In re tu rn , the couple' complained o f harassment! and


one o f a n d


upheld that to


v u lg a r gestures th e


complaints. “The rer cords show that


complaints made by their n e ig h b o u rs a b out them were investigated p rom p t ly b y an o f f ic e r when he received them,’” sa id th e Omb udsm an. “The council’s records do not show th a t complaints, of harassment and vulgar , gestures by another neigh-' hour, which the couple say they reported to the coun­ cil, were similarly investi­ gated o r dealt w ith . My investigation leads me to the view th a t they were not. I consider this failure, to investigate complaints impartially and even-han- d e d 1 y


t o b e '


maladministration.” The Ombudsman said


she had found i t difficu lt to , accept the couple’s argu­ ment that, had the council . in ve s t ig a te d th e ir com-, plaints more thoroughly,- th e y w o u ld n o t h a ve de cid e d to move away from Clitheroe. “ A lth o u g h the couple


claimed that,' but for th e ' council’s maladministra-;. tion, they would probably s t ill be living in Clitheroe, my view is that the real difficu lty lay in th e ir rela­ tionships with the ir neigh-, hour. The council was not- the root cause o f the d iffi­ cu lty and should not he seen as the root cause of th e i r decision to move- away,” she added.
