Our performance against service standards

We assess our performance against challenging service standards.  Some of these standards are set by external bodies that benchmark all housing associations and some of these standards we have set ourselves.

* Repairs are split into different categories, depending on their urgency.  Our targets for completion vary with these categories.  We aim to complete 100% of emergency repairs on time and 90% of urgent and routine repairs on time.
