  • Durham County Council (25 010 136)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Land 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council not intervening with a private dispute about a boundary fence. This is because it is not an administrative function of the Council.

  • London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (25 010 305)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the suitability of Miss X’s permanent accommodation. It is reasonable to expect Miss X to have requested a review of the suitability of the accommodation when it was offered to her. We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about the support offered by the Council with rehousing. There is insufficient evidence of fault to justify an investigation.

  • Suffolk County Council (25 010 387)

    Statement Upheld Charging 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about inaccurate fees for adult social care. Although it took a long time, the Council and complainant have now agreed the outstanding fees. The main issue is resolved, and it is unlikely an Ombudsman investigation would add anything significantly different to justify our resource investigating.

  • Wiltshire Council (25 010 394)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Drainage 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of the Property Flood Resilience Grant process, or its decision not to complete maintenance work on a culvert. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to justify the Ombudsman’s involvement.

  • London Borough of Tower Hamlets (25 010 434)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We cannot investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council failing to safeguard his sister from abuse. This is because Mr X has taken legal action and the law prevents us from investigating matters which are being considered by the courts.

  • Surrey County Council (25 010 688)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Disabled children 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of a Blue Badge application for his child. The Council has now issued a Blue Badge. An investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

  • London Borough of Brent (25 011 208)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not exercise discretion to investigate this complaint about the Council’s assessment of a housing application. This complaint was received outside the normal 12-month period for investigating complaints. There is no evidence to suggest that Ms X could not have complained to us sooner.

  • Norfolk County Council (25 011 233)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School transport 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s school transport policy or its decision to change her child’s transport arrangements. This is because it would be reasonable for Ms X to challenge the decision using the Council’s appeals procedure. There is not enough evidence of fault in the transport policy itself to investigate that as a standalone issue.

  • Lincolnshire County Council (25 011 391)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about a children services’ safeguarding investigation. We are unlikely to find fault.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 15-Jan-2026
