    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Miss B’s complaint about the Council not responding to her formal complaint about a housing matter. This is because an investigation solely into the Council’s handling of this complaint would not be a good use of our limited resources.

  • Waverley Borough Council (25 023 261)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 15-Jan-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about council tax banding. This is because we cannot investigate the actions of the Valuation Office Agency. The Council is not at fault for using the band provided by the Valuation Office Agency.
