How to Lodge a Complaint If you wish to register a concern about Manor Park garden care, you should set out the details clearly and provide any relevant dates, locations and descriptions of the issue. Complaints can be submitted verbally or in writing within the boundaries of our gardening service area. When possible, include photographs or notes that help us understand the problem. We will acknowledge receipt and advise on the next steps, including who will lead the review and the anticipated timeline for an initial response.

Initial Assessment and Acknowledgement

On receipt, the complaint will be logged and an initial assessment made to determine whether immediate action is needed for safety or environmental protection. Within a defined short period we will send an acknowledgement confirming that the matter is in hand. Our acknowledgement will indicate the person responsible for handling the complaint and the expected timeframe for a substantive reply. This stage ensures transparency in the process and helps manage expectations regarding resolution.

Investigation Process: The assigned investigator will gather relevant information from staff and review site records, photographs and any other evidence. For issues involving Manor Park gardeners, this may include a site visit, interviews with team members, and a review of specification documents. The objective is to determine what occurred, whether standards were met, and whether corrective action or compensation is appropriate. Our investigations are conducted with fairness, and where necessary we will retain independent advice on horticultural practice or landscaping standards.

If the proposed resolution is accepted, the complaint will be closed after confirmation that the solution was completed to the complainant's reasonable satisfaction.

Escalation and Review If a complainant remains dissatisfied with the outcome, they may ask for an internal review.

The review focuses on whether the initial investigation was thorough, whether the conclusions were reasonable, and whether the remedy was proportional. For complex disputes, we may facilitate a meeting between parties to reach a mutually acceptable solution.

Record-keeping and Confidentiality All complaints and their outcomes will be recorded in our complaints register to enable trend analysis and continuous improvement across our gardening service area. Records will be maintained in a secure manner and retained for an appropriate period. We will treat personal information sensitively and in line with data protection principles, disclosing details only to those who need them to resolve the issue or where required by law.
