Staffordshire County Council (23 017 647)
Statement Upheld Street furniture and lighting 01-Jun-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to repair damaged or missing pavement safety tactiles which have caused a potential danger to visually impaired people. Mr X also complained the Council’s approach to completing road repairs indirectly discriminated against visually impaired people. We found fault with the Council for failing to consider the full powers at its disposal to repair defects caused by utility companies and for failing to encourage utility companies to install utility covers with inlays for safety tactiles. The Council agreed to remind staff about the powers at its disposal and reviews its processes about encouraging utility providers. The Council also agreed to review the implementation of some of the tactiles installed on Derby Street for compliance with government guidance and in consideration of its Public Sector Equality Duty. We did not find fault with the Council’s general approach to highway repairs and did not find evidence of indirect discrimination towards visually impaired people.

Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (23 018 495)
Statement Upheld Alternative provision 01-Jun-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained that the Council failed to provide alternative education when her child was unable to attend school for medical reasons. We find fault causing a loss of education and avoidable distress and frustration. The Council had already made a symbolic payment to Mrs X for the injustice and had introduced some service improvements. We recommended further improvements to the Council’s school attendance policy which it has accepted. We have therefore completed our investigation and are closing the complaint.

Statement Upheld Charging 01-Jun-2025
Summary: Mr X complained about an invoice which incorrectly backdated charges for his stepfather’s stay at a care home and delay in the Council’s complaint process. We have found delay and poor communication causing distress but consider the Council’s proposed action of an apology, symbolic payment and liaison with the care home to obtain a refund of fees provides a suitable remedy.
