Publisher summary

We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint the Council failed to properly manage flood risk to her home from nearby lakes. This is because further investigation is unlikely to find fault in the Councils actions. Mrs X’s main claims around of liability for damages and financial loss are matters for the courts.
