Stoke-on-Trent City Council (20 003 282)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Covid-19 16-Oct-2020
Summary: Ms X complains about the amount the Council paid her business as a grant. Ms X also complains the Council is wrongly pursuing her for business rates. The Ombudsman will not investigate Ms X’s complaint. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault in how the Council originally decided to award her business a grant. The Council has also now paid the full amount and so an investigation could not achieve anything more. Ms X’s liability for busines rates has been decided in court and so the matter is outside our jurisdiction.
