Resident Involvement

You said, We listened

We have worked with tenants and leaseholders to make some meaningful changes to way we deliver our services.

We are proud that involvement has led to action.

Below are some examples of what we have done.

Complaint handling

You said We listened  Date completed
Our Tenant Satisfaction Measures said you were not happy with how we handled complaints.

Our Residents Panel, made up of tenants and leaseholders, looked closely at how we handle complaints and came up with some recommendations to improve our communications.

All recommendations were agreed.

These changes will make sure complaints:

  • are easier to understand
  • take the tenants circumstances into account
  • are clearer about how we put things right

We had some complaints from tenants about personal items getting lost or damaged during this process. 

We introduced a new inventory with photos for all moves.

This will provide better evidence if it is needed in the future.
