We are trying to make our Repairs service easier for tenants. We’d like to hear from tenants about your individual experience of reporting repairs so we can provide the best possible repairs service.
We’re inviting tenants to have a look at the Home repairs process, to see how it looks.
Please add any comments (use “Leave a Comment” option above) or contact us at HousingTechnical@angus.gov.uk if you would like to to discuss this in greater detail or have a paper copy of the process sent out to you.
As part of the changes introduced by the new Regulatory Framework, the Scottish Housing Regulator recently published an annual engagement plan for every Scottish social landlord.
The purpose of the annual engagement plans is to lay out:
The Regulator has a strong focus on how the social landlords deliver services for people who are or may become homeless. This is the main point of its engagement with local authorities including our own landlord services.
We need to provide the Regulator with the information related to our homelessness service. You can see full details of our Engagement Plan on the Scottish Housing Regulator website. You can find all Scottish social landlords’ Engagement Plans here.
The scheme is still available and here is the link to the website which explains the programme and the eligibility criteria for potential applicants.
The first phase of the regeneration of Timmergreens has begun at Emislaw Drive and Spitalfield Place where our main contractor CCG (Scotland) Ltd will build 38 new affordable homes. Burnfield Demolitions Ltd have now started clearing the site to make way for the new development.
The demolition works will last for about 16 weeks, and work on the new homes will begin in early 2020. Burnfield Demolitions Ltd have prepared the site in accordance with health and safety requirements by establishing a site perimeter and staff welfare facilities. The demolition itself will happen in stages and every effort will be made to minimise the increased levels of dust and noise which are likely to arise. Whilst the area fenced off has been kept to a minimum to ensure local residents can still use the adjacent parkland, access to the fenced off site is strictly prohibited
CCG’s Contracts Manager, John Baggley, and Health and Safety Manager, Andrew Blair, visited the pupils of Timmergreens Primary School on Thursday 4 April to talk about thedemolition works and site safety.
The Scottish Government has recently published translated versions of the following documents:
The documents are now available in Polish, Urdu and Punjabi languages.
