London Borough of Croydon (24 020 043)
Statement Not upheld Domiciliary care 07-Aug-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained the Council failed to investigate concerns about an incident when her relative, Mrs Y, received domiciliary care. She also complained about poor complaint handling. Mrs X said this caused distress and believed Mrs Y would be alive if it were not for the incident. We have discontinued the investigation. This is a late complaint and there is no good reason to exercise discretion to consider this matter now. The Information Commissioner’s Office is better placed to consider the complaint about not providing information. The Ombudsman will not complete an investigation to only consider complaint handling.

Harborough District Council (25 001 854)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 07-Aug-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Mr X’s homelessness and housing applications. Mr X had a right of appeal to court about the Council’s decision on his homelessness and there is no good reason he could not have used it. It is unlikely an investigation would find fault with the Council’s decision about Mr X’s priority on its housing register.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council (25 002 203)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Council tax support 07-Aug-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council handled Mr X’s council tax account. The court considered council tax liability, council tax support decisions carry appeal rights and it is reasonable to expect him to use them, and there is not enough evidence of fault to justify us investigating the council tax hardship fund decision.
