    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 30-Apr-2025

  • London Borough of Croydon (24 012 288)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about an alleged failure by the Council to classify the complainant’s two properties as one dwelling for council tax purposes, or the valuation of these properties to inform the relevant banding. This is because the complainant could reasonably appeal to the Valuation Tribunal about these matters. All other issues raised by the complainant are either outside our legal jurisdiction, or should not be considered until the Council's complaints policy and procedure has been exhausted.

  • Reading Borough Council (24 017 108)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint that the Council forged a document because there is not enough evidence of fault, and Mr X’s complaint about bailiffs visits is premature. Mr X’s complaint about a bus pass has already been remedied and further investigation is unlikely to provide a different outcome. We cannot investigate Mr X’s complaint about housing benefit payments as he took this matter to court.

  • Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council (24 017 545)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax support 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about Council charges for council tax, or the amount of council tax reduction the complainant receives. This is because these matters carry a right of appeal to the Valuation Tribunal which the complainant could reasonably exercise. There is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council with respect to its consideration of any additional support it could provide the complainant to address her concerns.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Noise 30-Apr-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s involvement with her children. The law prevents us from investigating anything that is the subject of court proceedings and could reasonably be raised in court.
