How will East Kent Housing improve the service you receive?

 

In the year ahead we plan to:

 

  • Improve the way our staff deal with enquiries from you and do more to help sort out your housing problems. 
  • Make it easier for you to complain when you are not happy with the service. 
  • Improve the way we do things by learning from our mistakes and making things better as a result.
  • Find out more about you so we can make sure that future services better meet your needs.
  • Set up Area Boards so that our service is accountable to your needs.
  • Look at new ways for how you can make your views known to us about the services you receive.

 

In the year ahead we plan to:

 

  • Do more to help you to move to a more suitable home when your circumstances change
  • Reduce the amount of rent owed to the councils but provide support and help to tenants who are struggling to pay their rent.
  • Improve the way in which communal areas on your estates are looked after. 
  • Give you more opportunities to access services through the internet.

Other councils in the UK are now considering following our lead and want to set up shared housing services too!
