Milton Keynes Council (25 005 573)

Statement Not upheld Antisocial behaviour 03-Feb-2026

Summary: There is no evidence of fault in the Council’s decision not to enforce an abatement notice, which it issued after establishing a statutory noise nuisance. And we cannot investigate a complaint about the Council’s decision not to evict its tenant for causing the nuisance, because the law does not allow us to. We have therefore discontinued our investigation.

Mansfield District Council (25 013 384)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 03-Feb-2026

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 03-Feb-2026

London Borough of Southwark (25 024 549)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 30-Jan-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of a noise nuisance complaint. This is because the Council has investigated Mr X’s complaint and taken steps to respond.

Nottingham City Council (25 001 569)

Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 23-Jan-2026

Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to take action to clear rubbish in his neighbour’s garden. We find the Council at fault for misleading Mr X by telling him to complete a pest control referral and for failing to acknowledge his complaint about service failure. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mr X, make a symbolic payment and complete service improvements to remedy the injustice caused.
