    Statement Not upheld Highway repair and maintenance 13-Jan-2020

    Summary: The complainant says the Council failed to keep in good repair the public highway outside his home causing difficulties for him when driving out of his driveway.

The Ombudsman further finds the Council considered whether it should undertake work without fault.
