London Borough of Camden (25 023 149)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 09-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a fixed penalty notice the Council issued to Miss X. There is no worthwhile outcome achievable, and we cannot achieve what Miss X is looking for.

Mid Suffolk District Council (25 021 519)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 09-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about a warning notice the Council sent to X in 2023. X did not complain to us until late 2025, therefore any complaint about that is now late. I will not exercise discretion to consider the matter because I have not seen any good reasons why a complaint could not have been made to us sooner.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council (25 025 240)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 09-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s management of Japanese Knotweed on its land. The complaint is late as it has not been made within 12 months of Mr X becoming aware of the matter and there are no good grounds to exercise discretion to consider it now.

Manchester City Council (25 009 444)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 04-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about import clearance costs. We are unlikely to find fault with the Authority.

London Borough of Lambeth (25 024 092)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 04-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council issuing him a Fixed Penalty Notice without showing it had authority to do so at the location it was issued. This is because Mr X could have used his right to raise a defence against the issuing of the Notice in the magistrates court if he believes it was incorrectly issued.

London Borough of Camden (25 021 317)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 03-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s response to waste and other environmental concerns Mr X raised with it. There is no significant injustice.

London Borough of Newham (25 023 588)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 03-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint that the Council falsely issued a Fixed Penalty Notice against him. This is because the Council cancelled it during its own consideration of the matter and there is no remaining injustice to Mr X which is serious enough to warrant an investigation. We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint that the Council has not responded to his subject access request. This is because it is a data matter best considered by the Information Commissioner rather than this office.

Royal Borough of Greenwich (25 009 492)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 02-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about how the Council dealt with 2022 reports about the property next door and a later bedbug infestation, and how it replied to his contacts and complaints. There is no worthwhile outcome achievable from investigating a claimed link between the 2022 issues and the infestation. There is not enough evidence of fault in how the Council dealt with the infestation to warrant us investigating, nor enough evidence of Council actions or inactions causing Mr X’s claimed injustices, to justify investigating. We do not investigate council communications or complaint handling where we are not investigating the core issues which gave rise to the complaint. A further complaint about a property extension causes Mr X insufficient injustice to warrant us investigating.

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (25 020 818)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 27-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of reports of fly tipping and a pest problem. We could not add to the investigation the Council has already carried out, so further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

Havant Borough Council (25 017 118)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 19-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to issue Mr X a Community Protection Warning. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault to warrant our involvement.
