Dear All
Act
Please see below the Chief Ombudsman’s final opinion into a complaint brought by Franks Ogilvie on
behalf of Cr Milne , which relates to the handling of the code of conduct complaint by the council .
On every single ground , the complaint fails and the council has been found to have acting properly .
Whilst this is no surprise , it is good to see it set out in this way.
