    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about public transport because the courts and insurers are better placed to consider the complaint.

  • Blackpool Borough Council (24 022 308)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 21-May-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s involvement with her children. Further investigation by us could not add to the Council’s responses to Miss X.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 21-May-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decisions relating to Mrs X’s property. The Council is not responsible for decisions about whether a property is uninhabitable, as the Valuation Office Agency makes such decisions. It is not proportionate to investigate peripheral matters, and the courts are best placed to consider complaints about what exemptions and discounts a council has decided to offer.

  • London Borough of Waltham Forest (24 023 050)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 21-May-2025

    Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint the Council requested a charging order against Ms X’s property. That is because we cannot investigate a matter that has been considered by the courts.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 21-May-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to end the main housing duty when Ms X was homeless. It was reasonable for Ms X to use her statutory right of appeal to the county court, and the Information Commissioner is best placed to consider complaints about how the Council handled her data.

  • Lincolnshire County Council (24 023 331)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 21-May-2025

    Summary: We cannot investigate Mr X’s complaint about the adequacy of the Council’s reports for court.

We would expect Mr X to raise any concerns about these issues in court.
