In some cases, it may be necessary for the Council to carry out an inspection. If this is the case, we will make an appointment with you.

Upon receipt of your claim we will write to you to acknowledge that we have received it and are carrying out our investigations.

We may need to contact you for further information during our investigations into your claim. We will endeavour to respond to you in writing with the outcome of our investigations within 90 days following receipt of your claim. However, please be aware our investigations may take longer depending on the circumstances of your claim.

If you are unhappy with the decision made and you request for your claim to be reviewed, a senior officer will review your claim and provide a response within 30 days. If you are unhappy with this outcome you will then need to seek independent legal advice, either via your own solicitor or free of charge from the Citizens Advice Bureau.
