Subject:Neighbour disputes and anti-social behaviour
Summary
C complained about the council after being issued with a number of warnings against their tenancy for antisocial behaviour. C said that the reports of antisocial behaviour were false accusations made by a number of neighbours motivated by discrimination. They told us that the council had unreasonably accepted corroboration between the neighbours, who were friends, but would not accept corroboration from C's parents for their counter allegations.
On investigation, we found that the council had a reasonable evidence base to support their decisions. We considered that the council could show that they had considered all of the evidence and circumstances in reaching the decisions to issue warnings and that these were therefore decisions that were reasonably within their discretion to make.
As such, we did not uphold the complaint.
