What type of complaints does the Local Government Ombudsman address?

The Local Government Ombudsman primarily deals with complaints regarding the overall administration and decision-making processes of local authorities. This includes examining complaints related to how the council functions as a whole, ensuring that the principles of good administration are upheld.

Option B is correct because the Ombudsman's role encompasses overseeing systemic issues and practices within local councils, such as decision-making processes and organizational behavior that affect the public. It is designed to address grievances about how councils fulfill their responsibilities, rather than focusing on individual members' conduct or specific procedural matters, which fall under other areas of oversight or regulation.

The other options specify more isolated issues: complaints about councillor expenses, conduct of individual councillors, or specific meeting procedures, which are not typically within the scope of the Local Government Ombudsman’s remit. Instead, these matters might be addressed through other mechanisms or bodies that specialize in legislative ethics, procedural integrity, or local governance standards.
