This survey is to assess the satisfaction of our residents with the Planned Works that we deliver, and the impact of the investment in their homes and estates.
We use the information to learn from the experience of residents and to improve our services, and the way that we deliver them in future.
You are receiving this survey because your home, your block or your estate has recently benefited from some major work and we would like your feedback on how that affected you.

We found that most people who didn’t complain decided against it as they felt it wouldn’t make a difference. However, some also noted other reasons such as a lack of understanding of our complaints process and language or...More

This formula means Havering Council Tax payers are having to pay more, to fund the increasing costs of helping vulnerable people, than in parts of London like Westminster and parts of Essex.
