What we will do if you make a complaint
Stage one
We will acknowledge your complaint within five working days. Within 15 working days we will give you a full explanation and tell you how we will resolve your complaint or send a progress report.
Stage two
If you are not happy with the response we send you, you can ask our Chief Executive to look at your complaint. She will let you know within five working days that she has received it and within 15 working days you will get a full response. If your complaint is complex, she may decide to ask a panel of impartial Members to review it at a time that's convenient for you. If your complaint involves the Chief Executive, then we will arrange to have someone else look into your complaint at this stage.
Local Government Ombudsman
Stage three is the final stage in our complaints procedure. If you are still unhappy you can take your complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman. You can contact the Ombudsman at any time, but he will usually only look into your complaint once you have been through our complaints procedure.
Complaints not handled by our complaints procedure
Certain types of complaints, such as information issues, are handled in different ways. If this is the case with your complaint, we will tell you the procedures and your rights under them.
