have you seen the 'how deep is your crack' thread
....is it really fair to 'torment' those of us with a certain 'mindset' in this way

Probably because they wouldn't complain otherwise.
Which is exactly the reason that they should be named.
Surely if you have been complained about, you should have the right to know who has done the complaining. There must be a mechanism for releasing this info other than "we cannot tell you"?

what sort of council?.....perhaps best defense is offense ?......google how to complain to ombudsmen ect.....i threatened that with a parish council once....never heard another word
We had a phone call from council about a complaint of over hanging branches on foot path a couple of years ago. I said to them to tell the person that complained to get in touch and come and show me where the problem was and we would sort it straight away but we have never heard a thing since
wasted years

I have been told that FOI can let you find out who the complainer is but I've never tried it.

Perhaps more serious are those who make a malicious complaint to the police knowing full well that guns will be seized and they will remain anonymous. So they will never have to answer for their lies in court.

You've mentioned you neighbour at the end of the drive with NIMBY tendencies before? I'm assuming you have cause to think not them this time?

@Bald Rick in England & Wales the Councils have to guarantee anonymity for anyone complaining of 'antisocial' behaviour, if they didn't some genuinely nasty people would do unpleasant things to people with reasonable grievances. However... they also know that a lot of 'stirring' and unfounded allegations come their ways, and so don't take that many too seriously. That written, if the correct procedure is followed, they have to take action, if only investigative, about things such as excess noise. All this being so, you aren't going to flush them out, which is unfair to the innocent man wrongly accused. Put the matter to strict proof...
If repeated, unfounded, complaints are made against you something can be done, it has been deemed a form of harassment and the Courts can help; but for a one off that just isn't going to happen.

I agree. Go full out. Tell council you invite the complainer to a meeting to resolve the issue.
Think long and hard how you can turn the entire issue to your advantage. Put the complainer in your pocket.
