Birmingham City Council (24 014 372)
Statement Upheld Allocations 08-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss B complained that the Council kept closing her housing applications. We found that the Council failed to clearly communicate the consequences of not providing supporting documents with her initial housing application, which led to its closure. The Council then closed the next two applications Miss B made, without properly explaining why it had done so. This caused Miss B avoidable frustration and inconvenience and delayed her ability to join the housing register. The Council has agreed to assesses Miss B’s application, and if she qualifies, it backdates her award date. The Council will also apologise, make a symbolic payment to Miss B and make service improvements.

Cheshire West & Chester Council (24 015 882)
Statement Upheld School transport 08-Jun-2025
Summary: Mr B complained the Council refused to provide free home to school transport for his child, which he said was contrary to its policy. We found fault in how the Council described its policy, which did not explain how it measured home to school distance in all cases. It agreed to our recommendation to amend this. However, we did not consider this fault caused Mr B injustice. This is because he knew before choosing his child’s secondary school, which school the Council considered the nearest qualifying school for home to school transport purposes.
