In the past year (2022/23), we've been working hard to get our repair service back on track. We understand that it's been tough to get repairs done quickly, and we understand Customers’ frustrations. But here's the good news: we're making big changes to improve how we handle repairs. We want to diagnose them more accurately, make repairs faster, and keep you informed every step of the way.
Our transformation plan includes new systems and better connections in your local Community.
Next year, we will be introducing Tenant Satisfaction Measures. These measurements aim to hold housing providers accountable for the quality of housing and services they provide while giving Customers greater visibility of their performance against sector standards.
