Resident Voice
We know that our residents want choice and opportunity to have their say. We will make it easier for them to talk to us about the issues that are important to them as well as ensure we’re doing what we said we would.
To be successful, we need to understand who our customers are, this means we can better support their needs and aspirations, whilst still providing services that reflect our social purpose.
By focussing on providing pro-active services, aiming to get things right first time, we will still need to work with residents and find solutions to help maximise their incomes and sustain their tenancies.
“The landlord resident relationship should to be one of mutual respect, showcasing transparency and cooperation as set out in the new consumer standards. We support these expectations, that is why our residents can expect more choice and opportunity to have their say in the way our services are delivered. We recognise how we deliver this will be key measure of our success over the next five years.” Heledd Williams, Assistant Director of Housing
