What we achieved in 2024/25

  • worked with tenants to agree a new Repairs Policy
  • brought more jobs in-house (like roofing, fencing, garden clearance, and damp/mould work) to speed things up and reduce reliance on contractors
  • created new teams to enhance tenant support and tackle damp and mould issues
  • started a programme to prevent damp and mould in empty homes before new tenants move in
  • helped provide over 100 temporary homes for people experiencing homelessness

In the next 12 months:

  • keep reducing the use of outside contractors to save money and improve service
  • test smart home technology that can spot and fix problems remotely
  • start using drones to inspect roofs and tall buildings
  • work with tenants to improve how repairs are scheduled and how support is provided during major works
  • review the stock held on vans to reduce time lost when visiting building merchants
