Slough Borough Council (24 017 484)
Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 10-Feb-2026
Summary: We did not find fault in the Council’s investigation of Mr X’s reports of noise nuisance.

We are satisfied the Council’s offered remedy is proportionate to the injustice caused and we do not recommend any further action.

Swale Borough Council (25 011 681)
Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 05-Feb-2026
Summary: We have upheld Mr X’s complaint about how the Council responded to his queries about its investigation of a noise complaint about him. The Council has agreed to apologise for the injustice caused and review its process to ensure people subject to noise complaints are able to query the process. Also, it is reasonable to expect Mr X to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Officer if he believes the Council is withholding information that he has requested.

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.
