  • Buckinghamshire Council (24 011 638)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 06-Dec-2024

    Summary: We will not investigate this late complaint about the Council’s handling of concerns about Mr X’s children. This is because the actions of the Council relate to the conduct of court proceedings about Mr X’s access to his children. They either were or could reasonably have been raised in court.

  • London Borough of Waltham Forest (23 005 996)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 06-Dec-2024

    Summary: Ms X complained the Council named a mainstream school on her son, Y’s, Education, Health and Care Plan and ignored her request for a special school. Ms X also complained the Council’s communication with her was very poor and it delayed responding to her complaint. We found the Council delayed consulting a special school for three months and responding to Ms X’s complaint. The Council will apologise to Ms X and pay her a symbolic amount of £300 to recognise the frustration this caused her.

  • London Borough of Bexley (23 017 237)

    Statement Upheld Private housing 05-Dec-2024

    Summary: Mr X complained about the way the Council dealt with his tenant’s homelessness application following the service of a section 21 notice. We have not found fault by the Council in the way it considered the Homelessness Code of Guidance. We have found fault by the Council, causing injustice, in its communication failures and poor complaint handling. The Council has agreed to remedy this injustice by apologising to Mr X, making a payment to reflect the upset caused, and service improvements.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 05-Dec-2024

  • Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council (24 011 870)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 05-Dec-2024

We will not investigate the complaint about a data breach because the complainant can complain to the Information Commissioner.

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s planning committee meeting which granted permission for a development on land near his property. There is not enough evidence of fault in the planning process to warrant us investigating. We also cannot achieve the outcomes Mr X wants from his complaint.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 05-Dec-2024
