If you're not happy with a service we've provided, the first thing you should do is contact Housing.
We can often put the problem right without the need to follow the formal complaints procedure.
You can make a complaint about us as your landlord if you're not satisfied with:
- the standard of service you've been given
- actions we or those acting for us have or have not taken
If you're contacting us about something else, for example, to request a repair, or report a neighbour nuisance, we'll send it to the relevant team and will not treat it as a complaint.
How to complain
The quickest way to make a complaint is by using our online form. It's important you let us know how the problem has affected you and how you'd like us to put things right.

Complaints performance and service improvement
Each year we report on:
- the type of complaints we've received
- how far we've met our timings for responding to complaints
- what we've learnt from these complaints and how we're improving our service
We also share decisions we've received from the Housing Ombudsman that year.
