    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 29-Jan-2024

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s clean air zone. The main impact of the Council’s actions relates to the issue of penalty charge notices and if Mr X disputed these notices it would have been reasonable for him to appeal. Where he has already appealed we cannot investigate any complaint about the penalty charge notice appealed against. We will not investigate Mr X’s complaints of discrimination or harassment as these are legal issues and there is not enough evidence of fault to warrant investigation.
