Norfolk County Council (25 007 368)
Statement Upheld Charging 26-Mar-2026
Summary: Mr X complained the Council did not contact him about outstanding care charges until four months after Ms Y’s death. He said it is unfair for the Council to pursue him for the charges when the Council was at fault for the delay. The Council was at fault for delays contacting Mr X about Ms Y’s outstanding care charges. However, I found Ms Y’s estate is not yet settled, so Mr X should use the remaining assets to fund the debt. In recognition of its delays, the Council agreed to waive any outstanding debt that may remain once Ms Y’s estate is fully settled.

Statement Not upheld School transport 26-Mar-2026
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council ignored professional and school evidence when deciding her appeal about school transport arrangements for her son. We found the Council followed its transport appeals process and allowed Mrs X to present her concerns to the appeal panel. The evidence shows the panel considered the representations made before reaching its decision. We have therefore found no evidence of fault in the way the Council considered the appeal.

Transport for London (25 013 058)
Statement Upheld Parking and other penalties 26-Mar-2026
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a Penalty Charge Notice for entering the Ultra Low Emission Zone because the Authority has cancelled the fine. Regarding the Authority’s failure to make reasonable adjustments, it has upheld the complaint and has agreed to remedy Mr Y’s injustice by apologising, making Mr Y a payment and putting in place a service improvement. Further investigation by us would therefore not be proportionate.
