Kent County Council (25 009 767)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Street furniture and lighting 08-Dec-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s decision not to install a highway bollard on the corner of his property. There is not enough evidence of Council fault, nor injustice directly stemming from its actions or inactions, to warrant us investigating. We also cannot achieve the outcome Mr X seeks.

Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X and Mrs Y’s complaint that the Council failed to properly carry out a full consultation before moving a bus stop.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Street furniture and lighting 04-Dec-2025

Statement Upheld Street furniture and lighting 02-Dec-2025

Hertfordshire County Council (25 009 284)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Street furniture and lighting 28-Oct-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s plans to place a post and a speed limit sign outside his property.

There is also another body better placed to consider part of his complaint.
