Title: Local Government Ombudsman 03 tel no Post by Barbara on Jul 31st, 2009 at 9:48am
Hi, I have searched but cannot find an exact answer to this question - can anyone tell me when the LGO adopted the 03 number (as an alternative to 0845)? I need this info as it may form part of a complaint about a local council who have just given advice to contact the LGO quoting only the 0845 tel no. I did find it listed in the Hall of Fame as using an 03 number as long ago as August 2008! Thanks for your help.

Hi Barbara, I don't think the LGO changed to using 03 as long as August 2008 as I only finally got an email from their Mr Ricky Duveen conceding they would now be moving to an 03 number in March this year (2009) . You may possibly have confused it with the changeover date to 03 for the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombdusman as that happened earlier than the LGO's switch to using 03 numbers. Note that they and the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman were persuaded to change to using 03 numbers largely as a result of my own protracted correspondence with each of them and their not being able to think of any possible excuse as to how it was still acceptable for an Ombudsman Service (a body that must be seen to hold the moral high ground) to go on using 0845 numbers in an environment where 03 numbers were now available.

Below is the earlier correspondence with the LGO where you can see they took some persuading of the need to stop using 0845 and move to 03 numbers:-
