Customer Service

Customer Service

Colchester Borough Homes undertook an improvement project in 2006 to enhance the way it delivers services to our customers. We delivered these improvements by:

  • Reviewing and changing the organisational structure to deliver a more personalised service based on the needs of our customers.

  • Introducing 'Freephone' numbers for our key services following customer feedback.

  • Undertaking an Equality and Diversity Improvement Project to ensure we make our services more accessible to all.

  • Making our compliments/complaints service more effective and efficient by having a single member of staff co-ordinating the process.

  • Introducing new technologies into our Customer Services Team to enhance both the customer experience and to enable us to monitor
    customer contact and target resources more effectively.

  • Completely rebuilding the CBH website in consultation with tenants and leaseholders to make it more user-friendly and interactive.

  • Reviewing our ‘Service Standards and Pledges’ in consultation with our customers as well as introducing a corporate standard for leaflets.

  • Consulting our customers on their views about what they expect from a First Class Customer Service.

We have also recognised that there is a need for us to continue our commitment to improving customer service. We have done this by developing a 'Customer Service Strategy and Action Plan' which you can download here.

Service Standards and Pledges

Colchester Borough Homes has a number of 'Service Standards and Pledges'. These can be downloaded here.

We undertook a review of these service standards in late 2006 including a discussion and review at the two housing forums in November 2006.

If you would like to make comment on them then please email us.
