Essex County Council (24 011 114)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Rights of way 25-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council not cutting back vegetation on a corner next to the rural road on which she lives. There is not enough evidence of Council fault to warrant investigation. Even if there has been fault, there is insufficient significant personal injustice caused to Mrs X or her family by the matters complained of to justify us investigating.

Statement Upheld Rights of way 26-Sep-2024
Summary: Mrs X complained about the way the Council handled the temporary diversion of a footpath near her home. We found the Council was at fault for not formally closing the footpath and publicising the temporary alternative route. However, it followed the correct process for the permanent diversion of the footpath and was not under a duty to consult Mrs X directly. We found Mrs X did not suffer any significant injustice as a result of any fault by the Council.
