London Borough of Lambeth (24 011 977)
Statement Upheld Homelessness 01-Jul-2025
Summary: We found fault by the Council on Miss Z’s complaint about it failing to transfer her to alternative accommodation after deciding it was unsuitable in March 2023. The Council failed to move her from the property, show a record of its decision about unsuitability at the time it made it, send her a copy of the decision, or act to address the causes of its concerns while she remained in it. These failures caused avoidable injustice. She remained in an unsuitable property which did not meet their needs. The Council agreed to send her a written apology, pay £4,050 for the time she spent in unsuitable accommodation, pay £150 a month until she is moved, find her alternative accommodation, review what happened, and remind officers of the need to tell tenants about decisions when made.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 30-Jun-2025

West Oxfordshire District Council (24 023 404)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax 30-Jun-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s recovery of council tax arrears. It is reasonable for the complainant to appeal to the Valuation Tribunal if she disagrees with the liability for the debt. We will not exercise discretion to investigate events earlier than 2024 because this is outside the normal 12-month period for receiving complaints.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Jun-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s failing to invite him to review meetings or its assessment reports for the court. The law prevents us from investigating anything that is the subject of court proceedings and we also cannot achieve the outcome Mr X wants.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 30-Jun-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of her daughter’s Education, Health and Care needs assessment. This is because the injustice she claims stems from the Council’s decision not to issue her daughter an Education, Health and Care Plan and this decision carried a right of appeal which it would have been reasonable for Mrs X to use.
