80% were satisfied we keep communal areas clean and well maintained (100% in 2024).

You said

Some tenant members were unsure how we decide which homes have a new kitchen, bathroom or boiler.

We did

We are working to raise awareness that these decisions are based on our findings from stock condition surveys. These depend on tenant members allowing us into their homes so we can assess the state of each property, identify what work is needed and then budget for when it can be carried out.

You said

You were unhappy with how long it takes us to respond to complaints.

We did

We are recruiting more staff so we can reduce delays and respond within our expected timescales.

You said

Satisfaction with repairs is much improved, but we want to build on that.

We did

We are working to maintain this high satisfaction level and want to recruit interested tenant members to a scrutiny panel aimed at improving our repairs process.
