We have over 50 garages available to rent, costing tenants only £19 per week. Apply for a garage online. 

Only one in ten tenants currently report their repairs to us online.  Using our online repair reporting form is quicker and easier.  It normally takes less than three minutes to report a repair online, compared to being on the phone for seven and a half minutes. 

You can also pay your rent online or get your questions answered through the online chat function on our website.  At the bottom right of the window, you’ll see a pink chat icon.  Simply click on the icon, enter your details and click ‘start chat’.  You’ll then be connected directly to a staff member who can help with your rent questions.

Last year we carried out trials to see how we could improve recycling rates on estates. We found that offering free clear disposable bags to residents did increase the amount of recycling collected. But resident feedback was that the plastic bags were too big for their flats. We also found that we would need to make changes to the big recycling bins on estates if we were to offer the bags to everyone.  

As a result, we will carry on working with residents to find the best ways to increase recycling on estates. Please let us know your suggestions by email.
