  • London Borough of Lambeth (25 005 350)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint the Council has failed to apply council tax reduction since 2023. It is reasonable for Ms X to appeal to the Valuation Tribunal if Ms X disagrees with the Council’s decision on her entitlement.

  • Sheffield City Council (25 005 807)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We cannot investigate Mr X’s complaint about information the Council shared with the Court. That is because the law says we cannot investigate matters that have formed court proceedings. We will also not investigate his complaint about a social worker. Further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

  • Reading Borough Council (25 006 455)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Noise 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint that the Council refuses to consider Mr X’s ongoing complaints about noise nuisance from his neighbour. This is because we are unlikely to find enough evidence of fault by the Council to warrant an investigation.

  • London Borough of Haringey (25 006 775)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with a planning application. This is because the complainant has not suffered significant injustice.

  • Shropshire Council (25 007 627)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to make changes to a residents parking scheme which Mr X says is incompatible with other traffic orders, limiting Police enforcement powers. There is insufficient evidence of fault which would warrant an investigation.

  • Suffolk County Council (25 008 384)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Direct payments 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about payment for adult social care. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s decision making.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the investigation of a social services referral. There is not enough evidence of fault to justify investigating.

  • London Borough of Southwark (25 008 626)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Miss X’s housing application. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault in how the Council made its decision to justify an investigation.

  • London Borough of Waltham Forest (25 008 722)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council informed Miss X of her outstanding council tax balance. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to justify our involvement.

  • Essex County Council (25 008 857)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 26-Nov-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision not to obtain a Speech and Language assessment as part of Mrs X’s son’s Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment. This is because it would be reasonable for Mrs X to raise the point at the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) as part of an appeal.
