  • Transport for London (24 022 311)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 14-May-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about Penalty Charge Notices because there is not enough evidence of fault to justify investigating and it is not a good use of public funds to investigate how a Council dealt with a complaint.

  • Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (24 022 325)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 14-May-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council issuing her a Fixed Penalty Notice for alleged fly tipping. This is because Mrs X had the opportunity to raise a defence against the issuing of the notice in court rather than paying it.

  • London Borough of Brent (23 020 758)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 14-May-2025

    Summary: Miss B complained about the Council’s failure to provide her family with suitable accommodation when they were homeless. We find that the Council provided unsuitable bed and breakfast accommodation for far longer than the legal limit and failed to properly explore alternative housing options. It also delayed carrying out a suitability review after it placed the family in alternative accommodation. The Council has agreed to apologise and make a payment to Miss B, as well as making service improvements.

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about poor care by his late mother’s care provider. He says they ignored medication instructions which led to medication being administered incorrectly. This is because an investigation would not lead to any further findings or outcomes. In addition, there is insufficient evidence of fault.

  • Staffordshire County Council (24 020 377)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 14-May-2025

    Summary: We have upheld Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s delay in providing the provision and support listed in her child’s Education, Health and Care plan. The Council has agreed to resolve the complaint early by providing a proportionate remedy for the injustice caused.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Private housing 14-May-2025

  • Waverley Borough Council (24 020 822)

    Statement Upheld Council tax 14-May-2025

  • London Borough of Hillingdon (24 020 919)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 14-May-2025
