    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Drainage 11-May-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s decision not to take enforcement action against private landowners, or carry out works to prevent further damage to her property. Mrs X has an alternative legal remedy, and it would be reasonable to expect her to use this. Additionally, there is not enough evidence of fault by the Council in its decision not to act.
