Arun District Council (26 012 869)

Statement Upheld Refuse and recycling 18-Aug-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about damage to property. It would be reasonable to expect X to use their alternative legal remedy to pursue a claim for damages through the courts. Additionally, we will not investigate a complaint about missed bin collections. This is because the Council has already remedied any injustice to X caused by its service failure, and there are no wider public interest issues remaining to justify an investigation.
