Making your views known
Birchgrove is committed to providing the best possible service and always welcomes your feedback.
If at any time you are concerned or dissatisfied please feel free to speak to any employee about your concerns.
Should your concern not be resolved to your satisfaction please write to the Neighbourhood General Manager in the first instance who will acknowledge a written complaint, in writing, within 24 hours and provide an initial response, in writing, within 7 days.
If you tell the Neighbourhood General Manager that you are not satisfied with our first response, we will escalate it to the Area Manager, who will provide a final decision in writing within 14 days of receiving the complaint, unless we have previously agreed a later deadline.
Birchgrove is registered with the Housing Ombudsman Service to provide an independent review of complaints.
We will not treat you any differently if you make a complaint.
We will cooperate in the same way with anyone authorised formally to act on your behalf.
If you are not satisfied with our final decision, or we fail to provide a decision by the relevant deadline, you may refer the matter to the Housing Ombudsman Service at:
