In June 2014 S4B commissioned Contour Homes to undertake an independent review of customer opinion. As set out within by the PFI contract between S4B and Manchester City Council, the first Brunswick Satisfaction Survey on Neighbourhood and Housing Management was delivered to all tenants on the anniversary of service commencement.
Here is a summary of some of the key results of the survey:
The performance was measured on two key questions which are set out in the contract.
Of the 954 tenants the survey was sent to, 280 (29.4%) responded.
Of the 280 respondents, 12 (4.3%) were leaseholders; 14% of the leaseholder population in Brunswick.
However; it must be noted that not every respondent answered every question.
Contract Questions
- Satisfaction for ‘Services provided by S4B’ was 84.7% against a KPI target of 70% – 14.7% above target.
- Satisfaction for ‘Opportunities available for resident involvement in Brunswick’ stands at 88.4% against a KPI target of 45% – 43.4% above target.
Homes and neighbourhoods
- 74.9% of residents who responded told us they were satisfied with their ‘neighbourhood as place to live‘
- 61.7% are satisfied with the ‘overall quality of their home’
- 70.5% of tenants ‘feel safe in Brunswick’
