Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 25-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about damage caused to Mrs X’s property by the Council during works.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 23-Aug-2026

This is because it is a data matter best considered by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
