  • London Borough of Harrow (25 006 220)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 21-Jul-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Miss C’s complaint about the Council’s handling of her housing application. This is because the information indicates the Council has assessed Miss C’s priority in line with the Council’s housing allocations scheme. The Council has apologised for providing wrong information to Miss C. This was a suitable response and an investigation is not justified.

  • London Borough of Harrow (24 022 000)

    Report Upheld Other 07-Jul-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained the Council had not taken action to ensure that he and his wife have the respite care for their child that the family is entitled to. Mr X said this caused him and his family distress, worry, uncertainty, and frustration. The Council failed to investigate the complaints under the children’s service statutory complaints procedure following our earlier recommendation, and failed to respond to us when we asked the reasons why. We therefore have concerns about the Council’s governance arrangements to administer the statutory children’s complaints procedure.

  • London Borough of Harrow (24 007 307)

    Statement Upheld Allocations 22-Jun-2025

    Summary: Mr X complained about how the Council handled his housing application. The Council failed to properly consider its homelessness duties to Mr X, or his priority for social housing under its allocation policy. This fault meant Mr X and his family lived in unsuitable accommodation for eighteen months longer than they needed to. The Council agreed to apologise, make a direct offer to Mr X of its next suitable available property, and pay a financial remedy. It will also provide an update on its backlog of housing priority decisions, issue reminders to its staff, and produce an action plan to prevent recurrence of the same fault.
