Mr C complained that Wrexham Council had refused to repair a damaged water pipe, leading to dampness in his property.

The Ombudsman decided that the Council’s investigation of Mr C’s complaint was not sufficiently robust. She decided to settle the complaint without an investigation.

The Ombudsman sought and gained the Council’s agreement for a manager to review all the evidence relating to the case and provide Mr C with a further response within 4 weeks.
