I don't know why the Local Government Ombudsman is making pronouncements on the subject.

When I rang them and said a council had failed and refused to supply me with information possibly germane to a bus lane case, like when was a certain road sign removed , then later replaced with another in a slightly different place, and there was a spell of time in between with none (all three views available on Google Maps), and in addition one email I sent in had been half-redacted when passed between deoartments, so part of my request was lost, which is probably why no response to that part, and the council had completely ignored two separate complaints about all this and another point, the ombudsman office said they weren't interested and would not get involved.
