What are you most proud of in our community?

“I live somewhere that's friendly. I feel like I am part of a community and I have proper conversations with my neighbours. You don't get that everywhere. It's clean and always looks great too.”

Emma Thirkill-Kirk and family

Emma Thirkill-Kirk, a Phoenix home owner and former employee, has been spending lockdown at home with her young family.

Juggling the challenges of looking after her newborn daughter and keeping her three-year-old son healthy and happy, Emma has somehow managed to find time during lockdown to do arts & crafts and prepare for a career change in graphic design.

We’re here to help – answering your questions

We’re making progress on our Digital Together project, with our new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system rolling out across Phoenix from July 2019.

This means all of our contacts with residents are starting to be captured in one place. It also means our staff will have more time to help those who would prefer to contact us by phone.

Constant improvement

We raised 11,137 “cases” after you got in touch, resolving 62% within the times we set. These cases help us to record your queries so we can resolve them more quickly and update you if you contact us again.

Dealing with complaints

We will always aim for the best possible service for residents. We welcome complaints as they help us to improve our services, but we are sorry when our services do not meet the standards we set.

We’ve created a new service improvement plan to make sure we can better deal with and resolve complaints.

This will be closely followed by our Resident Scrutiny Panel to make sure we’re delivering on this.

If you have feedback on our services – complaints or compliments – we strongly encourage you to get in touch so we can better understand how we can improve.
