Cardiff Council

Subject

Case Reference Number

202510923

Outcome

Early resolution

Ms A complained that Cardiff Council failed to respond to the complaint she submitted and failed to complete the repairs to her property.

The Ombudsman found that the Council had not provided a final complaint response and some repairs were outstanding.

The Ombudsman said this caused uncertainty and frustration for Ms A and decided to settle the complaint without an investigation.

The Ombudsman sought and gained the Council’s agreement to, within 2 weeks, write to the complainant to confirm the date that the repairs will be undertaken. In addition to this, the Council also agreed to, within 6 weeks, provide a final complaint response that will include an apology and explanation for the delay in completing the repairs.
