Statement Closed after initial enquiries Allocations 14-Aug-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s failure to rehouse her after promising to do so four years ago as that part of the complaint is late.

Summary: We cannot investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s increase of its licence fee for renting space at a business centre.

It is in any event a dispute over whether the Council’s actions breach the licence agreement, which is a matter for the courts.
