Decision details

Further to Minute No. 25 of the meeting held on 12 June 2008, the Cabinet considered the report of the Interim Head of Corporate Legal Services which incorporated the Further Report of the Local Government Ombudsman following her investigation into two complaints arising from incidents at the Gardner Avenue Allotment Site, Bootle.

The Cabinet also considered correspondence submitted by the complainants “Mrs. B and Mr. C” referred to in the report from the Local Government Ombudsman.

RESOLVED: That

(1)      the report and correspondence be noted; and

(2)      having taken full account of the Further Report of the Local Government Ombudsman and in particular the remedies recommended by her, the previous decision taken by the Cabinet to not accept the action recommended by the Ombudsman on the two complaints be reaffirmed and Members remain of the view that it would be inappropriate to apologise or pay compensation to the complainants
