Complaints Handling and Ombudsman Annual Report 2013/14

Meeting: 06/01/2015 - Executive (Item 124)

124 Complaints about Waverley's Services received by the Local Government Ombudsman and Housing Ombudsman in 2013/14 pdf icon PDF 40 KB

The report is in two parts.  The first part summarises the complaints made to the Local Government Ombudsman about Waverley’s services in 2013/14.  The second part summarises the complaints made by Waverley’s tenants and leaseholders to the Housing Ombudsman Service which assumed responsibility for investigating complaints about a local authority’s landlord functions with effect from 1 April 2013.  As a result of this change, and changes to the internal business processes of the Local Government Ombudsman, the report contains only very limited comparative information on Waverley’s performance in dealing with Ombudsman complaints in previous years.
