You said, we did

We aim to deliver excellent services and welcome all types of feedback. Whether the service you have received has been excellent, average or poor - we need to know about it so we can learn and improve.
 
Your views are important to us.  Below are just some of the items you have told us about and details of what we have done as a result.
 

You said

We did

You told us that you wanted to understand the term “right first time” meant.

We consulted with tenants and discussed the responses to agree the final definition. This will be published in the next edition of Home Front News

 

You told us that you don't like to wait to report emergency repairs and that you would like to see our performance figures for repairs calls.

A new IVR (Push button 1) system was implemented on 1 April 2011 which enables tenants to report emergency repairs speedily and allows us to report on the performance of the Contact Centre.

 

Our sheltered accommodation tenants said it was difficult to access services on the internet.

 

Introduction of computers in sheltered communal areas for tenants to use.
You wanted appointments for repairs.

Appointment system to start in April 2012.

 

You told us you wanted to access housing leaflets easier.

We introduced a online leaflet rack and produced posters to let tenants know what is available.

 

You questioned if most tenants read Home Front News.

Consulted with the Armchair Army and most tenants said they did read Home Front News and found it to be useful. This was fed back to the Communication, Involvement and Empowerment Service Improvement Group. Tenants suggested new features for articles which will be introduced during 2012.

You wanted to know how the Council intended to involve tenants.

Consulted and worked with tenants to produce a Tenant Involvement strategy.
