    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 25-Aug-2025

This is because some elements of the complaint are late and there are no good reasons they could not have been made sooner. Of the remaining issues, it is unlikely we would find fault in the Council’s actions and Mr X could have appealed the Council’s decisions on council tax support, to the Valuation Tribunal.
