    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 12-Nov-2025

  • Royal Borough of Greenwich (25 016 233)

    Statement Upheld Other 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We have upheld Mr X’s complaint because the Council delayed considering his complaint at stage two of the children’s statutory complaints procedure. The Council has agreed to resolve the complaint early by providing a proportionate remedy for the injustice caused to Mr X.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Leisure and culture 12-Nov-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 12-Nov-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s refuse collection policy or that it failed to collect her recycling on one occasion. This is because the claimed injustice is not significant enough to warrant our involvement.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School transport 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council refusing free home-to-school transport for Mrs X’s child. This is because the Council has recently decided to provide the transport. An investigation would not achieve anything further for Mrs X.

  • London Travelwatch (25 013 594)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Public transport 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about London Travelwatch’s handling of Miss X’s complaint about a rail provider. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to warrant an investigation and London Travelwatch’s actions have not caused Miss X significant injustice.

  • Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (25 013 728)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about missed garden waste collections. This is because the Council has already proposed a reasonable and proportionate remedy and it is unlikely further investigation would achieve anything more for Mr X.

  • Plymouth City Council (25 017 510)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Charging 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about financial assessment for contribution toward adult social care costs. The Council has followed the correct law, guidance and policy to make its decision. So, it is unlikely we would find evidence of fault, even though the complainant disagrees with the Council’s decision. An investigation is unlikely to add to the Council’s investigation or reach a different outcome.

  • Somerset Council (24 015 466)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 12-Nov-2025

    Summary: We found fault by the Council on Miss Y’s complaint about the Council failing to process her request for an Education, Health and Care plan within statutory timescales when it decided to issue it. It also failed to keep her regularly updated, delayed responding to her complaint, and failed to act on information from the school. The Council agreed to send a written apology, pay £7,600 for lost educational provision, review why it failed to issue the plan within statutory timescales, and act to ensure the failures are not repeated in future by setting out an Action Plan. It will remind relevant officers of the need to give regular updates and information. It will also review why it failed to act on information from the school and why it did not deal with her complaint within the timescales of its own complaints procedure.
