Involvement in action
Eight residents participated in three sessions to help develop our new website.
Here are a few key things residents raised with us:
“It’s important there is clear contact information for specific teams. I don’t want to have to call a switchboard, I want to get to the right team straight away”.
"You should use simpler language and a friendlier tone that is more conversational”
“There should be even more key information available at a glance".
For more information on the communications panel and other opportunities to get involved, see our resident involvement strategy (PDF, 1.1mb).
Neighbourhood Nights
We will be holding a Neighbourhood Night near you!
It's a one-stop shop to speak to our staff about whatever you need. Colleagues and contractors will be present to speak to you about the following:
- Repairs & maintenance
- Tenancy matters
- Rent
- Complaints
- Neighbourhoods and community questions
Free hot food is provided for all. Residents are made welcome with fun activities to join in. You can also meet members of the Resident Scrutiny Panel and use the opportunity to give general views and feedback relating to ISHA and your home.
