    Statement Not upheld Councillor conduct and standards 22-Jun-2025

    Summary: The Council followed the procedures set out in the Localism Act 2011 when it decided not to investigate Mr X’s complaint about his councillors. The Council is not at fault. The Council followed the appropriate procedures when making its decision and I cannot therefore criticise its decision.

    Summary: Mrs B complained that the Council had failed to properly consider its statutory duty to provide transport to her son C without requiring her to accompany him.

The Council has also agreed to apologise to her and provide guidance to appeal panels on the Council’s statutory duties.

  • Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (24 016 673)

    Statement Upheld Council tax 22-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained the Council wrongly pursued enforcement action for unpaid council tax after it had closed his account. We found the Council was at fault for failing to withdraw court costs when it closed the account, which led to avoidable enforcement action. This caused Mr X and his wife avoidable distress and time and trouble, and the Council has agreed to our remedy proposal.

    Statement Not upheld Domiciliary care 22-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained about a live in carer’s treatment of Mr Y following an accusation Mr Y had used a racial slur towards the carer. Mr X complained the carer was negligent and deliberately mistreated and isolated Mr Y in his own home, causing him a great deal of distress. We have ended our investigation as we cannot achieve a worthwhile outcome from further investigation as we are unlikely to be able to achieve the remedy Mr X wants.

  • Surrey County Council (24 018 573)

    Statement Upheld Disabled children 22-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained the Council took too long to carry out an occupational therapy assessment for his child Y. We found delay by the Council which caused avoidable distress and frustration. The Council will apologise and make a symbolic payment to reflect the distress. It has already increased staffing levels in the relevant team and this will minimise the chance of recurrence.

  • West Berkshire Council (24 020 950)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 20-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to refuse to carry out works to trees near the complainant’s property. There is insufficient evidence of fault on the Council’s part to warrant investigation.

  • Brighton & Hove City Council (24 022 967)

    Statement Upheld Disabled children 20-Jun-2025

    Summary: We have upheld this complaint about the Council’s response to the complainant’s request for social care services for her son. The Council has agreed to the Ombudsman’s request to address the matter through the statutory procedure for complaints about children’s social care. This removes the need for us to investigate.
