  • Cheshire West & Chester Council (25 004 468)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 17-Sep-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate X’s complaint about the Council’s failure to sign a contract for their child, Y’s, school which meant they missed out on four transition half-days.

  • Leicester City Council (25 004 636)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 17-Sep-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to respond to Mr X’s application for discretionary council tax relief.

In addition, as this complaint relates to a council tax exemption, this is a matter for the Valuation Tribunal.
