Members of the authority’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee will discuss the Local Government Ombudsman’s annual review letter at a meeting on Monday, September 2.

In the letter, the watchdog said it had carried no investigations between April 2023 and March 2024 and therefore no recommendations and remedies were required.

According to the Ombudsman’s website, just one complaint was lodged against WMCA in the period, from a resident in October 2023.

The resident had asked for a bus stop on the footpath next to his home to be removed as he had suffered from littering and dog fouling in his garden as well as damage to his wall and gate.
