Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 20-Jul-2026

Bristol City Council (26 004 156)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 20-Jul-2026

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 20-Jul-2026

Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council (25 028 436)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 19-Jul-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about noise disturbance and damage to her property caused by traffic going over speedbumps outside her home. There is insufficient evidence of fault and any injustice caused by early maintenance works is not significant enough to warrant our involvement. If Ms X considers the Council is liable for damage to her property, she can make a claim through the Council’s insurers or the courts.

East Sussex County Council (25 031 242)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 19-Jul-2026

Norfolk County Council (26 000 223)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 19-Jul-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s road closures on match days and the adequacy of signage for diversions. Mr X used his statutory right of appeal against a Penalty Charge Notice, and we cannot also consider Mr X’s representations against it. Any separable injustice experienced by Mr X is not so significant as to justify investigation by the Ombudsman.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Traffic management 19-Jul-2026
