Swindon Borough Council (24 020 315)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Land 16-Jun-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s property lease agreement with a private firm from over 10 years ago, its agreement to sell land to the firm, and a conflict of interest regarding that sale and its planning authority role. The lease issue is late, there is no good reason to investigate it now and investigation would not achieve a worthwhile outcome. There is not enough evidence of fault in the conflict issue to justify an investigation. There is insufficient significant personal injustice to Mr X caused by all matters complained of to warrant us investigating. We also cannot achieve the outcome Mr X wants from his complaint.
