Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 02-Nov-2022

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 11-Oct-2022
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s and its contractor’s decision to plant a tree on part of the highway outside his property, and about fault in the way the contractor dealt with his complaint. There is not enough evidence of fault in the Council or its contractor not consulting or informing Mr X about the planting the of tree to warrant investigation. Even if there was fault, the tree does not cause significant personal injustice to Mr X and his family which justifies investigation. We do not investigate internal complaint processes where we are not investigating the core issue giving rise to the complaint, and investigation of this issue would not lead to a different outcome.
