We recognise the importance of maintaining the area where you live to a high standard. We feel that it is important that you are able to reside in a safe and pleasant environment. The management of housing land needs to be effective, efficient and consistent in its approach.
Our aim is to provide a service to residents which meets the highest possible standards at all times and make sure that we deal with all your concerns by holding annual estate inspections.
Why have estate inspections?
The purpose of the inspection is to assess the standards of service we are delivering, identify areas for improvement, and generally identify any action needed to be taken to address tenancy breaches.
How often will we visit?
We are committed to inspecting our housing areas on a regular basis. The housing estates are located across ten wards and each will be inspected once a year. This is supported by officers from the Neighbourhood team who work on the estates on a daily basis. For further information, please see the estate inspection details in the table below. Estate inspections will be undertaken by the officers from the Neighbourhood team and Tenant Inspectors, supported by the Tenant Regulatory and Involvement team.
What happens after the inspection?
The outcome and actions for all inspections will be reported as part of You Said, We Did, in Open House, the tenant’s e-newsletter and will form part of the annual impact assessment for all tenant involvement activity.
Council properties - if the inspection finds that you are in breach of your tenancy agreement, for example fly-tipping, unkempt garden, then we will write to you, giving you opportunity to address the issues in an appropriate time frame to avoid penalties and any further action.
Private properties – non council tenants are covered by their individual covenant agreement.
While not all of the issues will be the responsibility of Tamworth Borough Council, our partnerships with local agencies – such as the Fire Service, Police and Staffordshire County Council – allow us to make sure that all concerns are fed back to the appropriate organisation. They will then be asked to respond to issues within 28 days to make sure these are actioned and resolved accordingly.
The areas will be visited within the month allocated and any issues raised will be reported to internal and external agencies for rectification works.
