The Ombudsman sought and gained the Council’s agreement that within 4 weeks it would meet with Mr A to inspect the wet room and identify any outstanding issues; provide Mr A with a schedule and timeline of the planned works; provide information about how to submit a claim for damages; and provide a complaint response to Mr A’s complaint.
