Luton Borough Council (25 019 900)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 08-Jun-2026

Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about trading standards because we cannot investigate a complaint about what happened in court and the issues could reasonably be or have been mentioned as part of legal proceedings regarding a closely related matter.

Central Bedfordshire Council (25 020 934)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 03-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate a complaint about the Council’s decision in 2018, not to take enforcement action against a property development company. A complaint about that decision is late and there are no good reasons to consider it now. Nor will we investigate a complaint about how it responded to new information about that matter, as it is unlikely we would find fault. Finally, we will not consider a complaint about a related information request. There is another body better placed to consider that complaint.

City of Doncaster Council (25 013 201)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 02-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Mr X’s Alternative Dispute Resolution. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault in how the Council dealt with the dispute and further investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

London Borough of Wandsworth (25 022 171)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 31-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision not to prosecute an NHS Trust for serving a meal to Mr X’s wife which contained ingredients to which she is allergic.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 25-Mar-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the way the Council considered her report to trading standards about a trader. We have not seen enough evidence of fault in the Council’s actions. Also, Mrs X can ask the small claims court to decide whether the trader is responsible for her financial loss, thereby remedying her claimed injustice.

Bedford Borough Council (25 019 199)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 03-Mar-2026

Cheshire West & Chester Council (25 013 949)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trading standards 20-Feb-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of concerns about a local trader. This is because the Council’s actions did not cause Miss X significant injustice. The injustice she claims stems from the actions of the trader and we could not hold the Council responsible for this or say it must reimburse Miss X for her loss.
