On most measures the Councils performance has declined.
• The number of tenants satisfied with repairs and maintenance fell from 85% to 82% while satisfaction with “the general condition of their home” fell from 83% to 81%.
• Only 55% of tenant adaptations were completed on time compared to 85% the previous year.
• Tenants satisfied with the standard of their new homes fell from 66% to 60%.
• There was an improvement in the time taken to relet empty properties although at 25 days this was worse than is achieved by several other Councils.
• Tenants satisfied with ”involvement in management & decisions” fell from 53% to 51%
• Tenants satisfied with” the outcome of their complaint” was only 34% compared to a target of 70%
• It took longer to remove graffiti.
• Nine out of 10 tenants responding to the Tenant Satisfaction Survey were satisfied with their neighbourhood as a place to live.
The results mirror the growing dissatisfaction levels revealed by the Councils more general “big survey” the results of which were revealed last month.
