Cover Letter to SHDC With Super Complaint

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please find attached documents detailing a case of maladministration and wrong doing on the part of South Holland District Council that I wish to be speedily dealt with by the council’s own complaints procedure.

Sadly my experience of the council, detailed herein, leads me to conclude that my complaint will not be dealt with in a satisfactory manner and therefore I am seeking a full investigation and judicial review by government into this council’s conduct.

It is my intention to take my complaint to The Local Government Ombudsman subsequent to the council findings in order to examine such work as has been carried out that should not have been or to provide the council with the independent guidance they self evidently require.

In line with David Cameron’s call on May 31st for transparency in public services and because of the actions of South Holland District Council I am petitioning the government to introduce regulations requiring local authorities to provide COMPREHENSIVE planning decisions and secret agreements that they are responsible for - CURRENTLY i.e. the day that they are made. The form of the information is to be PLAIN ENGLISH and stripped of legalise placed on an easily accessed website. Additional facilities to be available in this transparency exercise are the means, through the website, to request a weekly ‘push’ by email of all authority planning data for the previous 7 days and there ought to be an ‘opting in’ service for a monthly postal version for those without internet access.

Yours
