How to identify us

For your safety everyone who calls at your home who is working on the Planned Maintenance Programme will be wearing identity badges bearing their photographs and telephone number in case you want to verify someone’s identity. Additionally, all surveyors and operatives will be wearing a flourescent orange vest bearing the contractor’s logo.

If you have any doubts about a caller’s identity you should ask for and double-check their identity badge. If you are still unsure DON’T let them in, ring your Development Officer (link) if you have any queries about a caller’s identify.

Make a Complaint

If the above members of staff are unable to resolve any issues to your satisfaction you can make a complaint.

Tenants and Residents Associations

Development Officers are working closely with Tenants and Residents Associations consulting on the proposed works and organising open days and estate surgeries.  You can contact your local Tenants and Residents Association to discuss any aspect of the works.

If there is not a Tenants and Residents Association in your area please contact the Tenant Participation Unit on (01706) 273820 and they will put you in contact with your Area Board representative.
