The complaint is late and there are no good reasons to investigate it now. Even if the complaint were in time, there is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s and its committee’s decision-making processes to warrant investigation. We do not investigate councils’ complaint handling where we are not investigating the core issues which gave rise to the complaint.

And the Council’s apologies had already suitably addressed any injustice to Mr R arising from its avoidable delay in processing his complaint about what happened.
