Bin collections in the hot weather

Tenant satisfaction measures report
See council tenant satisfaction data.
Each year we send tenants a survey called Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) this is set by the Regulator of Social Housing. All landlords must ask a specific set of questions.
This helps tenants see how well their landlord is performing and give them the opportunity to hold them to account by looking at the performance of other landlords.
