Statement Closed after initial enquiries Disabled facilities grants 27-Feb-2023
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about a wet room installed in his rental property in 2014. It is a claim of Council negligence and liability for property damage. These are legal issues only a court can decide, if the Council’s or contractor’s insurers have denied liability or do so in future. It would not be unreasonable for Mr X to take his claim to court to pursue the legal findings and financial outcome he seeks.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Covid-19 15-Dec-2020
Summary: The complainant says the Council ignored regulations in place during the COVID-19 outbreak and allowed an event to go ahead which he says breached the rules. The Ombudsman will not investigate this complaint. The level of injustice suffered by the complainant does not warrant an investigation. Nor is an investigation likely to lead to a different outcome.
