  • Reading Borough Council (24 019 038)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 06-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s response to the complainant’s damaged allotment. This is because part of the complaint is late, and our involvement is also unlikely to achieve a worthwhile outcome. It would be reasonable for the complainant to seek to recover the cost of damage to her property through a court of law because it can decide questions of liability which we cannot.
