London Borough of Newham (25 012 176)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Parking and other penalties 13-Jan-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Ms Z’s complaint about the Council’s issuing of multiple Penalty Charge Notices and how it handled her complaint. The Council has cancelled and refunded most of the charges, so there is insufficient outstanding injustice to justify investigating these. There is not enough evidence of fault to justify investigating Ms Z’s outstanding concerns. It is not a good use of public resources to investigate complaints about complaint procedures alone.
