Eager residents brave bad weather to get repairs fixed

Despite the bad weather last week, the residents on Boundary and Shadwell,Tarling and Martineau estates were eager to pop along to their local repair day and get their repairs fixed.

Since mid-march we have been working flat out with our repair contractors EPS and Morrison to sort out immediate repairs in our neighbourhoods through a series of ‘local repair days’ - part of our 100 day improvement plan to step up repairs for our residents.

Repair days are set to continue throughout April and May and we are encouraging as many residents as possible to come along and speak to their contractor about any repairs they may have.

So far residents have asked us to carry out a wide range of internal repairs from the routine leaking sinks to the more bizarre buzzing entry phone doors! And we have cleared up a huge number of outstanding communal repairs on the way too. Broken pavements, missing bollards, broken fencing and damaged guttering – you name it, we have fixed it!

“I know that the repairs service is one of the issues that residents always feel strongly about. Our repair days are just one of a number of improvements that we have planned to help put things right. The fact that residents are willing to come to the repairs day – despite the bad weather – proves just how popular the event is.” said Gavin Cansfield Chief Executive.

“Residents really like repair days because it makes repairs so accessible for everyone who wants to use the service - and it’s making a positive difference” he added.

So, whether it’s a problem with your front door or a toilet that won’t flush, head down to your local repair day and tell us your repair concerns!
