Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of planning enforcement and building control matters related to extensions constructed by the complainant’s neighbour. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that fault by the Council has affected the outcome.

London Borough of Barking & Dagenham (25 012 072)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Miss X’s representations against a Penalty Charge Notice. This is because it would have been reasonable to expect Miss X to wait to hear from the Traffic Enforcement Centre at Northampton County Court and then make a late witness statement or statutory declaration.

Bury Metropolitan Borough Council (25 012 655)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries School transport 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to withdraw post 16 travel assistance. This is because an investigation would be unlikely to find fault with the Council’s actions.

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council (25 012 898)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s children’s services, because the Council has already provided a suitable resolution, and further investigation is unlikely to achieve anything more. Other matters fall outside our jurisdiction and should be raised in Court or with another body.

Leeds City Council (25 013 292)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to investigate the complainant’s further complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman has already investigated the substantial matter and is investigating another, and we will not reinvestigate issues which relate to, or could have been included in, those complaints. The remaining matters, in part, relate to the management of the school and the law prevents us from investigating this or there is insufficient injustice to warrant further investigation.

Manchester City Council (25 013 349)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a disabled band reduction for council tax. It is reasonable to expect Mrs X to use her right of appeal to the Valuation Tribunal. The Council has taken suitable action regarding its delay, and the remaining injustice is not significant enough to warrant investigation.
-
Royal Borough of Greenwich (25 014 164)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s homelessness application review decision. This is because Mr X had a right of appeal to the County Court and it is reasonable to expect him to have appealed. I have also not seen enough evidence of significant injustice to justify investigating the time the Council took to make its review decision.
-
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Councillor conduct and standards 08-Jan-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with a complaint about the conduct of councillors. This is because the complainant has not suffered significant injustice.
