    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 05-Aug-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about disrepair in his council property and its assessment of his housing register priority. We cannot investigate the Council’s actions related to housing disrepair because it was acting in its role as social landlord. There is insufficient evidence of fault in its handling of his requests for medical priority on the housing register.

    Statement Upheld Other 05-Aug-2025

    Summary: The Council was at fault in how it responded to Miss X’s complaint about the care it provided to her child. This caused Miss X avoidable frustration, for which the Council will apologise and pay her £200. It will also begin a stage two investigation of Miss X’s complaint under the children’s statutory complaint’s procedure.

  • Maidstone Borough Council (25 001 128)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 05-Aug-2025
