    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 25-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint that the Council has failed to enforce parking regulations on the complainant’s road. The Council has taken appropriate action in response to the concerns raised, and an investigation is unlikely to achieve anything further for the complainant.

  • Leicester City Council (24 022 808)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 25-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the complainant’s housing situation. This is because there is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council.

  • Wiltshire Council (25 002 907)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 25-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with a planning application and a breach of planning control. This is because the complainant has appealed to the Planning Inspector, and we will not investigate where the substantive issue is outside our jurisdiction.

  • North Northamptonshire Council (25 003 170)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Highway repair and maintenance 25-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s decision to refuse her claim for damages after her car was damaged when it hit a pothole. This is because this is a complaint about negligence which is a legal matter for the courts to consider and decide.

  • Dorset Council (25 003 946)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 25-Jun-2025

It would be reasonable to expect Mr X to return to court to enforce the terms of any child contact or residency arrangements. He could also ask the Information Commissioner’s Office to consider whether the Council has complied with General Data Protection Regulations.

  • East Sussex County Council (25 004 238)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School admissions 25-Jun-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 25-Jun-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 25-Jun-2025
