West Berkshire Council (24 014 171)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 22-Apr-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the way the Council dealt with a high hedge complaint, reports of breaches of planning control and data protection breaches. We cannot consider matters relating to the high hedge complaint as Mrs X has appealed to the Planning Inspector. This matter is therefore outside our jurisdiction. The breaches of planning control have been resolved therefore further investigation will not lead to a different outcome. Finally, it is reasonable to expect Mrs X to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office about data protection concerns.

London Borough of Haringey (24 014 544)
Statement Upheld Allocations 22-Apr-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the start date of her housing register application. This is because this complaint is late and there is no good reason why Mrs X could not have come to us sooner. We have upheld Mrs X’s complaint about her priority banding. The Council failed to clearly inform Mrs X it would not reassess her priority banding in response to the additional medical documents she submitted. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mrs X for this lack of communication.

London Borough of Havering (24 016 295)
Statement Upheld Parking and other penalties 22-Apr-2025
Summary: Miss X complained the Council took six weeks to respond to her request to pay a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) in instalments. Miss X says this meant she did not have the opportunity to pay the PCN at the discounted rate and it then issued the charge certificate further increasing the penalty by £65. The Council was not at fault for charging Miss X the full amount of the PCN as this was in line with its payment arrangement policy. The Council was at fault for issuing the charge certificate further increasing the fine before it responded to Miss X’s instalment request. This has caused distress, frustration and financial uncertainty. The Council has agreed to apologise and deduct the £65 from what is owed.

Lincolnshire County Council (24 016 792)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 22-Apr-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s involvement with his mother’s care. Other bodies are better placed to consider Mr X’s concerns about the Council’s corporate appointeeship for his mother. Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s interaction with him is late and there are no good reasons exercise discretion to accept this late complaint now.
