Tap4 issues
This quarter, we thought you’d find our 2020/21 Annual Report more useful than a standalone issue of TAP4.
Why? Because it includes more detail on many of the topics we’d otherwise include in the latest TAP4 issue.
-
a breakdown of how we spent EVERY PENNY from each pound of rent you'd paid us,
-
how building NEW BUILD HOMES benefits you, regardless of whether you live in one,
-
and the exact number of COMPLAINTS we’ve received, as well as some examples of how we’ve learnt from them (such as missed appointments, fly tipping, and our Antisocial Behaviour Policy).
