A big thank you to our customers

With your help we’ve been able to produce a Customer Action Plan, following our recent inspection. This focuses on the top three things you’ve told us to change:

During the inspection the Audit Commission identified a number of areas that we need to improve, to view the recommendations please click here.

Customer Action Plan

In response to the recommendations, we asked you to tell us your views.

We’ve received some great feedback, with over 8,000 responses. This feedback has been used to shape our Customer Action Plan, which you will shortly receive in our customer newsletter, or to view click here.

You told us that your main areas for concern we’re:

  • A better repairs service
  • Better communication
  • Better estates and neighbourhoods

Technical Action Plan

We’ve also prepared a Technical Action Plan, which focuses on how we will respond to the recommendations suggested by the Audit Commission.

Our Technical Action Plan can be viewed by clicking here.

This is a long and complicated document, as we need to assure our regulators we’re working on their suggestions. This will be used as a management tool, to make sure we’re keeping on track and delivering the best possible service for our customers.

There’s lots of jargon in the document, so we’ve included a glossary on the back page.

Our Approach

If you’d like to learn more about the approach we’ve taken to develop our plans, please click here.

What happens next?

The Audit Commission will publish a second report. This is referred to as “Judgement 2”. It will tell us how confident they are that we will be able to improve. We will publish the results of this on our website and through our customer newsletter.

We’d like to hear your views on our Customer Action Plan, and how we’re doing on delivering our improvements. Send us your feedback by clicking here.
