    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 13-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision not to take planning enforcement action. There is not enough evidence of fault in the way the Council investigated the reports of a breach of planning control to justify an investigation.

  • Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (24 017 586)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Licensing 13-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about taxi vehicle licensing because it is reasonable to expect Mr Y to appeal to the magistrates court about the issue, we could not add to the previous investigation about the issue and further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

  • Surrey County Council (24 017 618)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Looked after children 13-Mar-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about an alledged failure by the Council to safeguard the complainant from harm when she was a child between 1999 and 2007. This is because it is not the role of the Ombudsman to investigate historical issues and, given the passage of time, we do not consider there is a realistic prospect of reaching a sound, fair, and meaningful decision.
