This arrangement applies across the whole county except for the bigger towns where the Parish level does not exist, and the Borough/District takes on the work of the Parish Council.

Local Government Ombudsmen

The Local Government Ombudsmen investigate complaints of injustice arising from maladministration by local authorities and certain other bodies.

They investigate complaints about most council matters including housing, planning, education, social services, consumer protection, drainage and council tax.

The Ombudsmen can investigate complaints about how the council has done something. But they cannot question what a council has done simply because someone does not agree with it.

You can read more about the Ombudsmen on the official website:
