Housing news
focus on performance
In line with our commitment to provide
you with information about how
we perform in each edition of Housing
news, we review how we performed
in the first six months of this year.
We don’t have figures to compare our performance
with every Scottish local authority with housing stock
every time we publish Housing news. Performance
information is available annually.
We use the summer edition of Housing news to let
you know how we performed in the financial year
that’s passed, our performance against our targets
and how that performance compares with other
landlords.

possible causes where we relet homes slowly including maintenance but
we need to analyse why performance has fallen
