Latest news

Repairs satisfaction survey

We have just launched a new satisfaction survey for responsive repairs. Shortly after your housing repair is completed, we will send you a link by email or text message. If we don't have these details on your tenancy record, we will call your landline and ask you to spend a few minutes going through the survey with us.

As always, we will never pass your information outside the housing service or ask for any financial details. The results of this survey will help us to improve services. As a thank you for your time, we will place all responses into a monthly draw for a £20 Amazon voucher.

(You do not need to complete the survey to win, but you will need to enter your address and contact details on to the survey form.)

If you have any queries, please email talktous@dacorum.gov.uk.
