Dear Mr C

Thank you for your letter dated 24th February 2017, which 1 hereby acknowledge.

I am aware that you have made a number of complaints to the Council over the pasHew
years which have been investigated and responded to, as well as numerous freedom of
information requests. In addition, the Audit Team undertook a revieW of youraUegations
last year under the auspices of the Council's whistleblowing poIicyand concluded that no
evidence of fraudulent activity had taken place.

Furthermore,. following receipt of your subsequent complaint letter to me dated 10th


August 2016, alleging criminal behaviour by officials at the CounCil, I referred the matter
to the Humberside Constabulary for external investigation. On 19th November 201o, the
Police confirmed that they had investigated the allegations and had found no evidence
pertaining to dishonesty on behalf of the council or allegations of pe~ury.

I am also aware that you have also made various complaints to a number of other
agencies, including the Local Government Ombudsman, courts and police and they have
also found no evidence of wrong-doing.

On that basis, I am satisfied that o.fficers have acted properly with regard to processing
your council tax payments based o.nthe information available to them at that time.

North East Lincolnshire Council considers feedback important and where appropriate will
seek to identifyimprovel11ents to the services we provide. I am, however, concerned at
the amount of officer time and ultimately cost to the public purse that has been incurred
by investigating and responding to. your co.mplaints. This officer time could have been
put to much better use and I hope you will consider the value oHntransigently pursuing a
campaign when it has been addressed so many times by many different agencies, all
with the same result

Finally, I also find that the content of your letter is derogatory in the assertions made
against officers of the Council and your unreasonably persistent allegations toa range of
agencies could be construed as harassment The Council will be considering its position
as to whether it takes legal recourse against you if you chose to perpetuate the Issue.

Yours sincerely

Councillor Ray Oxby


Leader North East Lincolnshire Council
