  • Derby City Council (25 012 746)

    Statement Not upheld Other 24-Jun-2026

    Summary: Mr X complained the Council has failed to remove or support him with the removal of an appointee to enable him to manage his own finances. We found no fault in the process the Council followed to reach its views around Mr X’s capacity and the need for an appointee of his finances to be in place. It therefore reached decisions it was entitled to make.

  • London Borough of Harrow (25 013 991)

    Statement Not upheld Other 24-Jun-2026

    Summary: We have discontinued our investigation. This is because the Council is investigating Miss X’s statutory complaint, so there is no worthwhile outcome we can achieve at this stage.

  • East Riding of Yorkshire Council (25 015 091)

    Statement Not upheld Drainage 24-Jun-2026

    Summary: There was no fault by the Council, in its decision that a landowner’s work to a watercourse was not responsible for subsequent flooding, and its consequent decision not to take enforcement action against the landowner for this. We have therefore completed our investigation.

  • London Borough of Bexley (25 015 288)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 24-Jun-2026

  • Birmingham City Council (25 016 032)

    Statement Not upheld Leisure and culture 24-Jun-2026

  • Tanglewood Care Services Limited (25 017 230)

    Statement Upheld Residential care 24-Jun-2026

    Summary: Mr X complained the Care Provider did not correctly follow its falls policy following Mr Y's fall at the care home prior to his death. The Care Provider's actions in communicating with Mr X following the fall, the lack of clear and consistent falls procedures, and its complaint handling caused Mr X uncertainty, frustration and distress which is fault. The Care Provider will apologise and make a symbolic payment to Mr X and undertake service improvements to ensure there is a single, consistent falls policy and associated guidance in use across its services.

    Statement Upheld Allocations 24-Jun-2026

  • Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (25 018 216)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 24-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the date used by the Council to calculate Mrs X’s business rates liability. This is because the injustice Mrs X claims stems from the Valuation Office Agency’s decision rather than any action by the Council. If Mrs X disagrees with this decision she may appeal to the Valuation Tribunal.

  • Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (25 019 204)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Residential care 24-Jun-2026

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about her sister’s belongings going missing at the Council’s commissioned Care Home where she resides. This is because we could not add to the previous investigation and a further investigation would not lead to a different outcome. There is also another body better placed to consider Ms X’s concerns.
