    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 19-Oct-2023

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision not to apply interest to Ms X’s council tax refund. This is because an investigation would be unlikely to find fault with the Council’s actions.

  • London Borough of Harrow (23 007 920)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Domiciliary care 17-Oct-2023

    Summary: We will not investigate this late complaint about care provided to Mr Y. There is not a good reason for the delay in the matter being brought to the Ombudsman.

  • London Borough of Harrow (23 000 589)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Charging 12-Oct-2023

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how a Council communicated with Mr X and handled his complaints, which included support for a deputyship application and payment of fees for his late father’s care. The Council has already accepted fault and provided a suitable remedy. Investigation by the Ombudsman is unlikely to achieve more.

  • London Borough of Harrow (22 013 000)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 11-Oct-2023

    Summary: We find the Council failed to send Mr X a homelessness decision letter explaining its reasons to exclude his brother-in-law (Mr Y) from the application. We also find poor communication and unreasonable delay in completing a suitability review of Mr X’s temporary accommodation and treating reported mould growth. The Council should apologise to Mr X and make payments to him for uncertainty and distress caused and for impact on his family while they remained in unsuitable accommodation. It should also provide staff reminders of its statutory duties to provide clear decision letters and meet review deadlines to prevent recurrence.

  • London Borough of Harrow (23 008 282)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Domiciliary care 09-Oct-2023

  • London Borough of Harrow (23 003 240)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 05-Oct-2023

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of his homeless application and about sharing his personal information with third parties. This is because it is reasonable for him to use his right of review and then appeal to the County Court. In addition, there is another body better placed to deal with his complaint about the Council’s handling of his personal data.

  • London Borough of Harrow (23 007 916)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 04-Oct-2023
