Neighbourhoods and Specialist Housing service update

Update July 2024

Following the launch of our Neighbourhoods and Specialist Housing service, we invited you to give us feedback on our increased focus on your local area.

Thank you to everyone that shared your experience of the service so far, either through attending an online resident group, completing a feedback form or coming along to one of our local events.

 

You told us

 

We’re doing

Communication was an issue

We’ve been looking at how we communicate and the best way to keep you updated, including text message and noticeboards

We’re also trialling a newsletter style communication

 

Would like staff to be more visible and engage locally

Neighbourhood Officer roles have now been recruited and staff are getting to know the properties and customers in their areas

 

We recognise not everyone will have noticed changes yet so we’re being more proactive in door knocking and face to face contact with customers

 

Want to be able to forward concerns to the right team in the most convenient way

My Account is continuing to be developed and users are now able to raise even more requests using the app

 

Customer Service staff have been trained to be able to resolve many queries at first point of contact

We’ve received more than 300 responses to our survey so far. We’re continuing to roll out changes gradually and learn as we go.

Tell us what you think of services where you live:

Join our Neighbourhoods and Building Safety Group

This resident group meets online every three months, working with us to:

  • discuss how well our neighbourhoods service is performing and how we're meeting the requirements of building safety legislation
  • listen to residents’ experiences of these services
  • think of ideas for how local services could be improved.
