Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 16-Mar-2026

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 12-Mar-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s actions in relation to vehicles parking on grass verges.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 10-Mar-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with Mrs X’s attendance at a Speed Awareness Course and how it handled subsequent complaints. This is because it concerns action taken on behalf of a local policing body in connection with the investigation or prevention of crime and the law says we cannot investigate it. It is unlikely we could add to the Council’s response in relation to the remaining issues complained about.

It upheld the complaint, spoke with the officer, and apologised to the complainant for the distress and confusion. It is unlikely an Ombudsman investigation would add anything further.
