Outcome 2 Communication and Outcome 3 Participation

Our latest tenants survey took place in August 2018 using a face-to-face questionnaire. By carrying out face-to-face interviews we maximised response rates while making sure we involved a representative sample of tenants.

The response from tenants was very positive, especially in areas such as:

• being kept informed
• opportunities for participation
• increased satisfaction with the quality of housing
• the management of their neighbourhood

Indicators

The percentage of tenants who are satisfied with the overall service provided has risen from 83.9% in 2013 to 91% in our latest survey. This compares favourably with the Scottish local authority average of 84.3% as shown below.

At 92.5%, most tenants were satisfied that the council keeps them well informed. This has increased significantly each year from the 2013/14 return at 76.6% and compares well to the scottish local authority average of 83.1%.

In order to improve satisfaction we have listened to the reasons why tenants are dissatisfied.

We will continue to listen to our tenants and make improvements based on what they tell us. 

Our in-house tenant participation team are there to support tenants and residents with issues that matter to them. There are a wide range of ways to get involved and you can do so at a level that suits you.
