Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Abolish the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman

We believe the Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman is not fit for purpose, and that staff do not adequately investigate complaints about local authorities. We believe they are wasting people's time and efforts in submitting complaints and evidence, and should be abolished.

More details

I have personal experience where I believe the LGSCO did not take adequate action in respect of a complaint I submitted against my council. We believe the LGSCO is a waste of money and should be abolished. 99% of reviews about them on Trustpilot are bad.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
