Improving Lives update
Welcome to the summer edition of our stakeholder newsletter.
It remains a tough time for our sector, and we continue to navigate a series of challenges as we do everything we can to improve the repairs service we provide to customers and enhance their experience.
To address these issues, we've introduced a second support tier of contactors to help us reduce the backlog of outstanding work and respond to new enquiries more quickly. You can find out more about this new approach below.
In this update, we also bring news of some of our latest development activity, a transformative new project we've launched to improve energy efficiency and you can hear how our Independent Living Service has made a positive difference for one of our customers.
Our customers remain our priority and we’re determined to improve the service they receive as soon as we possibly can.
As always, thank you for reading and for your ongoing support.
Julie Doyle, Longhurst Group Chief Executive
