How well are we doing at listening to what you tell us?
Between April 2007 and June 2008 we have asked customers
to feedback on several issues. The following table reports what we
have done with your comments and suggestions.
| We asked you about… | You told us… | So we did… |
| The tenant handbook | You liked a folder style where it would be easy to find information | We used a folder format |
| DVD for new tenants | New tenants might not have a DVD player | We play the DVD to new tenants at our offices |
| Our translation and interpreting services | That you didn’t know about translation and interpreting services available or English for speakers of other languages classes | We are promoting the services available |
| Right to buy communication | You wanted to know more about the legal stages of the right to buy process | We added more information about eligibility, valuation, improvements and repairs |
| Good neighbour agreements (GNAs) | That estates are generally good places to live with occasional antisocial or nuisance behaviour | We have recommended that GNAs are retained as a tool that HFI could use, if appropriate |
| Tenants’ incentive schemes | That incentives should benefit families, young people and communities and look at solving antisocial behaviour | We are working with Islington council on possible youth schemes |
| Repair and recharge policies | That it’s ok for some types of work to have longer completion timescales, that customers who miss appointments should be charged and that we should promote the home contents insurance scheme | These comments have been incorporated into our new policy (see page 12 for more information). |
Thank you to all those customers who attended focus groups or gave up their time to feedback on our services.
