Maldon District Council (22 004 067)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 18-Nov-2022
Summary: We will not investigate Mr and Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s bin service, and how officers dealt with their complaint. We cannot rule on their claims the Council is fully or partly responsible for damage to their gate or for a break‑in at their home, as they are legal liability issues. It is reasonable for Mr and Mrs X to pursue the liability decisions they seek at court. We do not investigate council complaint or claims handling where we are not investigating the core issues giving rise to the claim or complaint. Other bin service issues do not cause Mr and Mrs X sufficient personal injustice to warrant an investigation.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 31-Aug-2022
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the way the Council has conducted a ‘call for sites’ exercise as part of its Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment. This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. The alleged fault has not caused the complainant a significant personal injustice, and the Planning Inspectorate will consider the soundness of the Local Development Plan review in the future.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 09-May-2022
