Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (23 016 613)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Antisocial behaviour 06-Mar-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s alleged failure to properly address anti-social behaviour Miss X has experienced. This is because most of the events Miss X has complained about took place more than 12 months ago; it therefore would have been reasonable for her to bring the complaint to us sooner. Further, an investigation into the parts of the complaint which took place recently would be unlikely to result in a finding of fault.

Statement Upheld Antisocial behaviour 21-Feb-2024
Summary: Mr A complained the Council did not deal with his many complaints about his neighbour’s behaviour appropriately. We find fault in the way the Council dealt with Mr A’s reports.
