  • London Borough of Merton (25 015 186)

    Statement Upheld Allocations 23-Jun-2026

    Summary: Ms D says the Council made errors with her housing register account. I have found fault because the Council delayed progressing Ms D’s medical assessment. I have not found any additional fault to that already accepted by the Council in its complaint responses to Ms D. The Council has made a service improvement and made a direct offer of housing to Ms D. It has now agreed to pay Ms D redress for avoidable distress.

  • Leicestershire County Council (25 015 300)

    Statement Upheld Special educational needs 23-Jun-2026

    Summary: The Council was at fault for failing to secure the speech and language therapy in Mr X’s child, W’s, Education, Health and Care Plan. This caused Mr X significant frustration and meant W missed out on provision they were entitled to. The Council has since remedied W’s injustice but not Mr X’s, for which it will apologise and make a symbolic payment. The Council will also review why the fault occurred and what it needs to do to prevent similar fault in future.

    Statement Not upheld Disabled facilities grants 23-Jun-2026

We found the Council failed to properly consider the impact of the development on Mr X’s home and avoidably delayed dealing with his complaint. The Council agreed to make a symbolic payment to Mr X in recognition of his avoidable distress, time and trouble caused by fault in both its planning decision making and complaint handling.
