  • Swindon Borough Council (25 001 022)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about how the Council responded to his request for information on how it spent council tax contributions. The complaint is late and there is no good reason to investigate now.

  • London Borough of Bromley (25 001 857)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to grant planning permission for a neighbouring development. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault, and we cannot achieve the outcome Miss X is seeking.

  • Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council (25 003 281)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of the Education, Health and Care Plan process for the complainant’s child. It is unlikely our investigation would achieve a worthwhile outcome. We will not investigate the complaint about the Council’s complaint handling as a stand-alone issue.

  • Peterborough City Council (25 003 423)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about Council’s handling of Miss X’s homeless application, temporary accommodation and housing registration. This is because some of parts of the complaint are late and therefore outside our jurisdiction. Additionally, there is also not enough evidence of fault causing significant injustice.

  • Isle of Wight Council (25 011 401)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about reports for the courts because we cannot investigate a complaint about what happened in court.

  • Kent County Council (25 011 642)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about Miss X’s child being in the care of others. We have no power to change a decision made by the courts and we could not achieve the outcome she seeks.

  • Birmingham City Council (25 012 856)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about liability for Council tax as there is a right of appeal to a Valuation Tribunal and there is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council.

  • Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council (25 015 053)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Highway repair and maintenance 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr B’s complaint that his car was damaged by a width restriction which the Council had not clearly signed. This is because it is reasonable for Mr B to pursue his compensation claim by taking the Council to court.

  • Oakland Care (25 005 414)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Residential care 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint, made on behalf of the late Mr Y, about the Care Provider’s delay in using a pain relief medicine during Mr Y’s end-of-life care. There is not enough evidence the Care Provider’s actions led to the injustices complained of to warrant us investigating.

  • Derbyshire County Council (25 005 545)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 06-Oct-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s record of information at a multi-agency meeting. This is because there is no worthwhile outcome achievable from an Ombudsman investigation and other bodies are better placed to investigate Mr X’s complaints.
