  • Essex County Council (24 017 445)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 31-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about delays in the Education Health and Care Plan process. This is because the Council has agreed to apologise to Miss X and pay her £100 per month for the delay. We consider this an appropriate remedy and further investigation is therefore unlikely to achieve anything more.

  • Reading Borough Council (24 017 464)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 31-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint that the Council failed to address concerns raised about a neighbouring development. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault or injustice to justify investigating, and further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

  • London Borough of Southwark (24 017 553)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 31-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint the Council did not processed a housing register application. That is because the complaint is late.

  • City of York Council (24 017 559)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 31-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council charging the complainant for removing wood from his fallen tree from the highway. We cannot decide whether the Council is liable for the cost. This is a matter for the Council’s insurer or the courts. Also, we will not investigate a complaint that the Council has failed to provide information. It is reasonable to expect Mr X to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office on this point.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 31-Mar-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 31-Mar-2025
