  • Derby City Council (25 006 385)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr B’s complaint about the Council removing his possessions from a garage he leased from the Council. This is because it is reasonable for Mr B to pursue his compensation claim at court.

  • Agincare UK Limited (25 007 370)

    Statement Not upheld Charging 30-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mrs X complains about problems related to her husband Mr X’s discharge from hospital to residential care. We have not found fault with Dorset Council or Agincare UK Weymouth. Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) acted with fault in the way it managed Mr X’s hospital discharge and communicated with Mrs X. We recommended the Trust apologised to Mrs X and paid her £250 in recognition of the avoidable uncertainty and frustration caused by its fault. We also recommended the Trust shared an anonymised version of this decision with staff for learning. The Trust accepted our recommendations, so we have completed our investigation.

  • Oxfordshire County Council (24 023 038)

    Statement Upheld Child protection 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s actions relating to concerns he raised about his children’s welfare. This is because the Council has already investigated using the three-stage Children Act complaint procedure and we could not add to that investigation. Additionally, the Council will take action to remedy the injustice caused by delays in that procedure.

  • Amica Care Trust (24 023 178)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Care Provider’s decision to outsource services it provided to residents of its adjacent independent living apartments. There is insufficient evidence the Care Provider’s actions amount to fault.

  • Coventry City Council (24 023 250)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint the Council did not respond to his telephone calls reporting noise nuisance. Further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

  • Wiltshire Council (24 023 461)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about an alleged safeguarding failure by the Council. There is not enough evidence of fault by the Council to warrant our further involvement. Matters concerning data protection would be better raised with the Information Commissioner as they have powers to order disclosure and to impose penalties for deletion that we lack.

  • Redcar & Cleveland Council (25 000 068)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of a planning application. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault affecting the decision.

  • Hampshire County Council (25 000 171)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Highway repair and maintenance 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about damage caused to his car by the Council’s contractor and the outcome of his claim for damages. This is because this is a complaint about negligence which is a legal matter for the courts to consider and decide. We cannot decide a negligence claim.

  • North Somerset Council (25 000 278)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Disabled children 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s decision not to issue his son with a Blue Badge. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault by the Council for us to be able to question its decision.

  • Surrey Heath Borough Council (24 019 239)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 29-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s missed bin collections. This is because the Council has carried out remedial visits to empty his bins and agreed to monitor his collections to reduce the likelihood of any further issues. This is a suitable outcome for Mr X and it is unlikely investigation would achieve anything more for him.
