If you have escalated your complaint to stage 2 and are still not happy with our final response, you can contact a councillor or MP for help:
- find your local councillor
- find your local MP on the UK parliament website
Alternatively, you can make a complaint direct to an Ombudsman. This may be the Housing Ombudsman or the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman. You will have been provided with their information in our stage 2 response.
