Data Protection

In order to protect you we are only able to discuss your rent account directly with you, unless we have your authorisation to speak to a third person on your behalf. 

If you would like to authorise someone to speak on your behalf you must complete an Access to Personal Information form, sign it and return to Housing Services.

If you have any comments on our service, let us know.  Your feedback is important to us, as it helps us improve our service.

If you know the member of staff who delivers your service you can speak to them about the problem, or contact us to discuss it further.
