Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 04-Dec-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s actions in relation to Miss X’s homelessness. There is insufficient evidence of fault to justify investigation.

London Borough of Enfield (24 005 191)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Refuse and recycling 04-Dec-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the lack of consultation to changes to the trucks which collect the complainant’s recycling and missed collections. Complaints about events occurring more than 12 months ago are late and we have seen no reason why Mrs X could not have contacted us much sooner. And we do not consider Mrs X has suffered a significant personal injustice from intermittent missed recycling collections which are collected the following day.

Swindon Borough Council (24 006 663)
Statement Upheld Refuse and recycling 04-Dec-2024

We find the Council at fault in relation to the missed collections which caused Mrs X avoidable frustration, distress, and inconvenience. The Council has already apologised to Mrs X. The Council has agreed to make a symbolic payment for the injustice caused.

Herefordshire Council (24 008 653)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Child protection 04-Dec-2024
Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about how the Council treated Mrs X when she sought to complain about a safeguarding matter. A legal bar prevents us investigating the substantive matter underlying the complaint, and a court ruling prevents us investigating how the Council dealt with Mrs X’s complaint about it.

Oxfordshire County Council (24 008 945)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Charging 04-Dec-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about adult social care charges. The Council assessed the person needed residential care, which they received, and which the Council assessed the person could pay for. An Ombudsman investigation would be unlikely to reach a different outcome or achieve the outcome the complainant wants of a refund of care charges.
