Herefordshire Council (25 007 894)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 19-Aug-2025

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s liability for damage at a property, because Mrs X has an alternative legal remedy.

London Borough of Croydon (25 004 375)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 18-Aug-2025
