When we find fault, we can recommend improvements to systems and processes where they haven’t worked properly, so that others do not suffer from these same problems in future. Common examples are policy changes; procedural reviews; and staff training. Service improvements from decisions are published for 5 years and those from reports are published for 10 years.

    Summary

    Ms B says the Council unreasonably refused to consider her complaint against the allotment association that evicted her and delayed reaching that decision. In deciding it could not pursue the complaint the Council failed to consider whether the allotment association had breached its lease by the way it handled the complaint. The Council also delayed responding. An apology and payment to Ms B, alongside liaison with the allotment association, is satisfactory remedy.

    The Council will: •consider the way the allotment association dealt with Ms B’s complaint. Following that the Council should write to Ms B to explain the view it has reached. If the complaint was not dealt with in accordance with the allotment association’s complaints procedure and the Council is concerned the allotments association has breached the lease the Council should consider whether any further action is necessary.the Council will: •liaise with the allotment association to ensure it has in place a complaints procedure which has given due regard to the guidelines for considering such complaints. If there is no appeal provision in the complaints procedure the Council should consider whether, in the absence of any other appeal route, the Council should consider any such appeals.
