  • North Somerset Council (24 022 781)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 16-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about applications for discretionary council tax support and council tax exemptions. This is because there is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council.

  • Bolsover District Council (24 022 794)

    Statement Upheld Other 16-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s delay in providing a business rates bill. This is because the Council will take action to remedy the injustice caused and there are no wider public interest issues to justify investigating this complaint.

  • London Fire Commissioner (24 022 887)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Health and safety 16-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about damage caused to his home following two visits from London Fire Brigade. Part of the complaint is late. It is reasonable for him to pursue a compensation claim for damage to his property through the courts and an investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

  • London Borough of Southwark (24 023 083)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 16-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about an increase in the amount of the charges for permits to park in a controlled parking zone. This is because the complaint is late and I have seen no good reasons to exercise our discretion to investigate it.

  • Norfolk County Council (24 023 138)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Safeguarding 16-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to place Miss B’s brother in a respite care home placement.
    Miss B is complaining too late and there is no good reason to investigate now.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 16-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint that the Council covered up an error by a local councillor who failed to call an application in for determination by its planning committee. This is because the complaint is late and the Council has already remedied the issue by referring the application to its planning committee.

  • Durham County Council (25 002 481)

  • East Sussex County Council (25 003 432)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 15-Jun-2025
