    Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 18-Feb-2019

    Summary: The Council failed to investigate complaints of anti-social behaviour and noise nuisance. It failed properly to assess the vulnerability of the victims. Because of this it is not possible to know if the Council could have taken any action against the perpetrators. The Council failed to support the victims. The Council will apologise and pay the complainant £300. In future it will consider all evidence offered by a victim and keep the vulnerability of a victim under review.

  • Durham County Council (18 002 736)

    Statement Not upheld Antisocial behaviour 15-Feb-2019

    Summary: Miss X complained the Council failed to properly respond to reports she made about fly tipping and littering within its agreed timescales. She was dissatisfied the Council would not take action against the perpetrators of littering or take preventative action or install CCTV cameras. Not all of Miss X's reports were resolved in the timescales DEFRA sets out, but we found overall the Council had responded appropriately. The Council has taken some of the preventative action Miss X wanted, and it explained why it had not installed CCTV.

  • London Borough of Southwark (18 010 227)

    Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 14-Feb-2019

    Summary: Miss X complained the Council has not investigated her complaints about noise nuisance. The Council withdrew its noise monitoring service from Miss X more than two years ago. It has failed to properly review this decision as required by its policy. It has not explained this decision to Miss X. She has therefore been frustrated by continuing to send reports without acknowledgment or response. The Council has agreed to apologise to Miss X and to review its decision about her access to the noise nuisance reporting service. It will write to Miss X to explain its decision and how it will continue to keep this under review.

    Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 11-Feb-2019

    Summary: Ms X complains the Council was at fault in the way it responded to her complaints of noise nuisance caused by her neighbour. We found fault as the Council delayed when responding to Ms X's complaint about the matter. But this fault did not cause Ms X an injustice and so we have completed our investigation.

  • Wakefield City Council (18 009 602)

    Statement Not upheld Antisocial behaviour 04-Feb-2019

    Summary: Mrs X complains on behalf of her daughter that the Council has failed to take action about noise nuisance. The Council has investigated the complaints and installed noise monitoring equipment. The recordings do show noise but the Council's professional judgement is this is not at a level that would constitute a statutory nuisance. There is no evidence of fault by the Council.
