Tenants Standards Report 2019-20

Tenants Standards Report 2019-20
Each year we publish a standards report for residents along with our financial statements so that you can see how we’ve performed. This financial year ended quite differently as we started to feel the effects of the pandemic and quickly deployed our employees to work from home.
Business
We are here to provide decent homes and great services for our residents, and again that’s reflected in the awards we’ve won that benchmark us against our peers.
It’s been another busy year for our Contact Centre; less of you are phoning in, but there are lots more emails, and next year they will take on messages received through social media and webchat, as we continue to expand our digital services.
