  • London Borough of Hackney (24 021 184)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 08-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s garden waste collection service, or the decision to introduce a service charge for garden waste collection. There is insufficient evidence of fault for part of the complaint, and an investigation into the the remaining matters is unlikely to achieve any further outcome.

  • Bury Metropolitan Borough Council (25 000 101)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Highway repair and maintenance 07-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr B’s complaint that his car was damaged by a road defect. This is because it is reasonable for Mr B to pursue his compensation claim by taking the Council to court.

  • London Borough of Southwark (24 019 053)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Housing benefit and council tax benefit 07-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s decision to recover two housing benefit overpayments from him. With the earlier overpayment, Mr X could reasonably have used his right to appeal to a tribunal when he had that right. With the more recent overpayment, it is reasonable to expect Mr X to use his right to appeal to the tribunal.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Noise 07-Apr-2025

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 07-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council allegedly misleading the public about plans for a local regeneration project during a public consultation process.
