How we deliver services to our communities is under scrutiny – and for many that’s meant substantial changes in how we operate on the frontline. 

Housing staff across the county are facing a battle against poverty, as millions of people fell the squeeze of a cost of living crisis that is leading to impossible choices between heating and eating.

With the pandemic providing a backdrop to our current challenges, housing officers are dealing with multiple and complex challenges – including increased incidences of anti-social behaviour and domestic abuse.

Teams will need to develop their skills, build news partnerships and draw on all of their compassion and resilience to deal with the challenges ahead.

At the same time a new regulatory environment means knowing our patch and having a deep and meaningful understanding of what is happening on the ground in communities is at the absolute top of every Board and Executive agenda.

Listening to tenants and meaningfully engaging them in reshaping frontline services needs to be at the heart of our approach a new tenant satisfaction measures come into play.
