Complaints and neighbourhood services

Sometimes we may get things wrong. If that happens we want you to tell us so we can put it right.

Complaints policy

All social landlords are guided by the Housing Ombudsman Complaints Handling Code. The Code applies to all social landlords, including the services we deliver to our tenants and leaseholders.

You can download our current complaints policy:

We are working with the Resident Board and the Resident Complaints Scrutiny Group to review our approach to managing complaints. We will be taking on board our obligations to the Housing Ombudsman in relation to the new Code.
