    Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 04-Feb-2025

    Summary: Mrs D complained the Council has been too slow in dealing with her reports of anti-social behaviour from her neighbours. We find Council was at fault for some delays in dealing with Mrs D’s reports of anti-social behaviour. This caused her distress, upset and frustration. The Council apologised to Mrs D and paid her £500. This is a suitable remedy to address Mrs D’s injustice. We do not recommend anything further.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Assessment and care plan 04-Feb-2025
