Welcome to the autumn edition of Street by Street. As a member of the resident communications panel I’d really recommend other residents get involved as it gives you the opportunity to play an active role in how East Thames communicates with residents, including through Street

It’s great to see how hard East Thames is working to improve lots of crucial areas, including customer service.

East Thames already answers over 90% of calls in 20 seconds or less, and has recruited more call centre staff to ensure calls are answered even more quickly. I’ve had some very positive experiences with East Thames’ staff who were helpful, professional and really listened to what I had to say.

You can read all about how East Thames’ services are performing in the annual report to residents. I think it’s is really useful for residents to see how East Thames is working to improve their services, especially repairs. It’s also reassuring to see how transparent they are, and gives me confidence that things will continue to improve.

East Thames catch up

One to One with Avis Rhodes Head of Customer Services, East Thames As the new Head of Customer Services at East Thames, my job is to put our customers at the heart of the business and make sure our services meet their needs. The teams who report to me include the contact centre, reception, front of house and customer advocacy, who help with complaints that have not been resolved the first time.

Our contact centre answers over 90% of your calls within 20 seconds. We also answer

the emails you send to the addresses found on the back of this magazine.

We are eager to improve our contact centre even more by expanding the range of services currently offered so more of your questions can be answered the first time you ring.

We are planning to update the systems we use to make sure that all of the information you provide us with is stored in one place, so when you call us the

person on the end of the phone can see all the information they need to know right away. I’m also reviewing our complaints policy to ensure it meets the needs of our customers and helps us solve your problems quicker.

We hope that you start noticing the improvements that we are making. Remember if you have any problems just call us on 0300 303 7333.

Meet the

Chief Executive Since starting at East Thames I’ve spoken to many residents with both good and bad things to say. Residents recognised that we have a lot of good staff at East Thames who are friendly and helpful, and others offered constructive criticism which has helped me to prioritise areas for improvement.

To help me deliver these improvements we have a new Director of Customer Service; Sarah Mbatha and a new Head of Customer Service; Avis Rhodes and together they are looking at how we fix problems. It’s early days but I am hopeful you will see improvements coming through over the next few months.

I know that our partnership with Interserve had a rocky start, but I am pleased to say that this is now back on track and we have seen customer satisfaction with repairs increase over the past few months. We are also investing more money into improving our existing homes.

I am happy to hear from residents or meet with you to hear your experiences. You can email me at chief.executive@east-thames.co.uk or attend my next “Meet the Chief Executive” event. It is taking place on Wednesday 28 October and you can register your interest in attending by emailing residentinvolvementteam@east-thames.co.uk.

Money matters

Government changes to benefit and rents

In July, the government announced a range of changes to benefits and rents that might affect you.

The changes to benefits include: • A freeze on most benefits for people of working age. This means next year and for the next four years the maximum amount of benefits you’re entitled to will not go up. Your benefits can still change if your circumstances change.

• From April 2016, working family tax credits will be reduced.

• From April 2016, there will be a phased introduction of the new reduced benefit cap.

The new lowered benefit cap will be £23,000 in London (currently £26,000) and £20,000 outside of London (currently £23,000). This means the maximum amount of benefits, including housing benefit, that out of work households will receive is £442 a week in London and £385 a week outside of London. For single people the cap will be lower: £296 a week in London, or £258 a week outside of London.

www.east-thames.co.uk

• From April 2016, the amount of backdated housing benefit you can receive will be limited to four weeks. For more details on this change see page 7.

The government has also proposed changes to rents for social housing tenants. These changes include: • Reducing rent by 1% each year for the next four years (starting in April 2016) • Increasing rents for households on incomes over £40,000 in London and £30,000 outside of London.

For the latest information on the changes to benefits and rents, please check the East Thames website at www.east-thames.co.uk/benefits.

Money matters

Backdated housing benefit Previously, when claiming housing benefit, you could have it backdated for up to 26 weeks before the start of your claim. However, from April 2016 you will only be able to backdate your claim for four weeks. To make sure you’re not left out of pocket, you should notify us and the housing benefit team at your local council as soon as your circumstances change, or you start struggling to pay your rent.

If you’re worried about how these changes might affect you, our welfare benefits advisers will be happy to talk to you. Call us today on 0208 522 2040.

If you want to speak to someone about about your rent account call 0300 303 7333 to speak to your account manager.

Get help with your benefits: Rita, an East Thames resident since 2001 came to East Thames when her housing benefit was stopped.

“I was having problems with my housing benefit and I came in to the office to speak to someone about my rent. The receptionist put me in touch with Uyi. She was very helpful and contacted the housing benefit team on my behalf. She helped me fill out the forms and get them submitted and my housing benefit was reinstated very quickly. I feel a lot happier now it’s sorted.”

Welfare Benefits team

Is your child turning 16?

Your benefits could be affected if your child has recently turned 16. If your child is not in full time education or training, or not working, your child benefit and child tax credit may end on the 31 August following your child’s 16th birthday.

If you claim housing benefit or receive a council tax reduction, you must tell the housing benefit team at your local council straight away if your child leaves education or training. Your benefit entitlement may go down when child benefit ends as your child may no longer be classed as a dependent.

Rita would recommend visiting the Welfare Benefits team to anyone having problems paying their rent.

“I’ve already sent some people to see the welfare benefits team at East Thames and they reported back to me on how easy it was to get help. Uyi is very down to earth and reassuring. She really solved my problems and has a nice approach to dealing with people.”

A message from Martin: How we’re tackling overdue communal repairs We have had some problems with our communal repairs service which led to some residents experiencing delays in repairs to things like communal doors and lighting.

We are working to fix this by working with better quality subcontractors.

Although you may continue to experience delays whilst we put these problems right, we hope to be able to deliver a much higher level of service to you in the near future.

Martin Thomas Account Director - Interserve

How...to avoid blocked sinks and toilets: If your sink or toilet get blocked you might be tempted to call us to report it, but quite often this is a problem you can solve quickly and easily yourself. The problem can usually be fixed by using a normal sink and pipe unblocking fluid that you can buy from the supermarket or hardware store.

To avoid blocked sinks and toilets: • Make sure you clean your pipes regularly, even when they’re not blocked.

• Use a plughole filter to catch food to make sure it doesn’t get stuck in your pipes.

• Be careful when using plastic toilet rim fresheners as if they get loose they can block your toilet.

• Never pour cooking oil or any other fats down the sink, these should go in the bin.

• Never put wet wipes, kitchen towel, nappies or other sanitary items in your toilet as these get stuck in the pipes and can cause you and your neighbours plumbing problems.

If your sink is repeatedly blocked due to misuse you may be recharged for any repairs we have to carry out. If you think the problem is caused by a blocked communal drain and you are not able to fix the problem using the tips above, please call us and we can investigate.

Residents 2014-15 Message from Olu Olanrewaju, Director of Communities and Neighbourhoods

Over the next few pages you’ll find our report to residents for 2014-15, which covers the period between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015.

We’re committed to giving you honest information about the quality of service that we deliver to you. In this report you can read about how the various services we provide are performing, including repairs, employment and training, and housebuilding. We’ll tell you where we have and haven’t met our targets, and what we’re doing improve things for this year and beyond.

You can see how we’re doing at a glance below:

What went well • We completed over 93% of urgent and emergency repairs within 24 hours – that’s over 22,000 jobs!

• Our employment team helped 283 people find work.

• Our welfare benefits advisors gave advice to 1,499 residents and helped them access more than £550,000 in additional funding and grants.

• We resolved over 90% of your queries at the first point of contact

What didn’t go so well • We’ve not delivered a good enough service for communal repairs. We know that some of these delays have been caused by underperforming sub-contractors, so we’re working to replace these with providers we can trust to deliver.

• We still need to respond more quickly to your complaints – to make sure that we get this right

we’ve created a new Customer Service team and their number one priority is to improve how we handle this – read more in our interview with Avis Rhodes, Head of Customer Services on page 3.

• We need to provide more ‘first time fixes’ to avoid our operatives having to visit you multiple times in order to complete your repair.

The way we measure satisfaction is to contact customers who’ve recently used our services and ask them to take part in a short survey – please do take the time to do this if we call you as we can only improve with your feedback.

We also work closely with our housing scrutiny panel and hold resident focus groups to get feedback on our performance. If you want to get involved and help shape our services in 2015-16 call us on 020 8536 3957 or email residentinvolvementteam@east-thames.co.uk.

We’ve also made sure our operatives have vans that are well stocked with the parts they need the most.

Together with our repairs partner Interserve, we are getting homes ready quicker when someone moves out so we can get a new family in within a few weeks. We’ve done this by improving our processes so we can work smarter and quicker between teams. This has saved us £248,199 compared to last year.

We’re also tackling ASB on estates by working with local services including the police and local councils to try to ensure that ASB doesn’t happen in the first place. We had 393 cases of antisocial behaviour reported last year.

Recovering illegally sublet or misused properties ensures that we have more homes available for the people who need them the most.

We completed 269 affordable homes in 14/15

Housing is in short supply in London and East Thames is committed to building affordable homes, making sure that the residents in the boroughs in which we work have access to high quality housing for rent and shared ownership. We won’t rest on our laurels – we hope to build 312 new affordable homes in 15/16.
