Birmingham City Council (24 007 340)
Statement Upheld Refuse and recycling 12-Feb-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council has repeatedly failed to collect the household waste from his street. Mr X says they had no collections at all for three months between May and late August 2024 and that since then although some collections have been made, the waste is still not routinely collected as scheduled. We found the Council’s repeated failure to collect the household waste and recycling from Mr X’s street is fault. This led to an accumulation of waste in the street that is unsightly and smells unpleasant. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a payment to Mr X and monitor his collections.

Fylde Borough Council (24 013 409)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 12-Feb-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of matters relating to its failure to take enforcement action under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and 1987 or to issue a Community Protection Notice under the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014. This is because the complaint is a late complaint and so falls outside our jurisdiction due to the passage of time and because an investigation will not lead to the outcomes Mr X seeks.
