Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Apr-2025
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about alleged misconduct by the Council with respect to historical claims to ownership of the complainant’s land. This is because the issues concern matters and events which occurred between 1960 and 2000. It is not the role of the Ombudsman to investigate historical matters. The complaint is late and there are no good reasons why we should exercise our discretion in this respect. In any event, the complainant could reasonably take court action over the issues raised.
