London Borough of Tower Hamlets (24 005 075)
Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 21-May-2025
Summary: There was fault in the way the Council responded to the complainant’s reports of anti-social behaviour (ASB) in her building. The Council did not give proper consideration to the complainant’s needs or to its full toolkit of powers for tackling ASB, did not follow its own ASB policy as a landlord, made a series of errors in undertaking an ASB case review, and delayed updating its risk assessment of the complainant and responding to her formal complaint. This caused distress and frustration to the complainant, for which the Council has agreed to apologise and offer a financial remedy. The Council has also agreed to undertake a new ASB case review and circulate guidance to relevant staff on the ASB case review process.

-
Westmorland and Furness Council (24 018 886)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 12-May-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of his reports of noise nuisance and anti-social behaviour from his neighbours. This is because his complaint is late and there are no good reasons to exercise discretion to consider the late complaint. In addition, there is insufficient evidence of fault, and an investigation would not lead to any worthwhile outcomes.
