  • Cornwall Council (25 019 320)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Highway repair and maintenance 22-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about water from the highway because there is not enough evidence of fault to justify investigating and the courts are better placed to consider the issue.

  • Leeds City Council (25 019 541)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 22-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about delays in the Education Health and Care Plan process. This is because the Council has agreed to apologise to Ms X and pay her £100 per month for the delay. We consider this an appropriate remedy and further investigation is therefore unlikely to achieve anything more.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Fostering 22-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with Mr X’s foster care matter. This is because the Council has dealt with the complaint through the Statutory Complaints Procedure and there is no worthwhile outcome achievable by a further investigation.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 22-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Mr X’s business rates accounts. This is because it is unlikely investigation would achieve any worthwhile outcome for Mr X. The Council has already taken the accounts back to an earlier stage and apologised to Mr X and we cannot say it must agree to waive any further business rates it may decide are due at a later date.

    Statement Upheld Residential care 22-Jun-2026

The Care Provider has already provided a suitable remedy, via its internal complaints process, for any injustice we would identify if we investigated the matter. Further investigation by us would not achieve a different outcome.
