    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 09-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about being issued a Fixed Penalty Notice for littering.

  • Surrey County Council (25 007 010)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 09-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint the Council provided misleading and biased reports to the court in relation to his child.
