Government closes local authority watchdog with 'vague' remit

The UK government has decided to close the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGSCO), an independent watchdog established to investigate complaints against local authorities and care providers. The decision, announced by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, has sparked concerns over the lack of transparency and accountability in local governance. Critics argue that the closure, justified by the government as part of a broader initiative to streamline public services and reduce bureaucratic overlap, leaves citizens without a clear avenue for redress against local authority maladministration. The move has been criticized for its timing and the vagueness of the government's rationale, with many questioning the implications for public trust and the oversight of local services.
