🌞 Great day with our Branksome Hall Drive community! 🌞

🎢🌊Last week some of our tenants enjoyed a lovely trip to Blackpool

🥧💬For those who weren’t able to travel, we made sure they didn’t miss out on the fun—sharing pie and peas together and enjoying a good natter

😀It’s always wonderful to see everyone coming together and staying connected

🤔Thinking about making a housing disrepair claim?

👀You may have seen adverts from claims management companies encouraging tenants to take legal action against their landlord. But before you go down that route, it’s important to know the risks:

➡Hidden costs
➡Fees if you change your mind
➡Stressful and lengthy court cases
➡Risk of breaching your tenancy agreement

🗣Talk to us first!
We’re here to help keep your home safe and in good repair. Courts expect tenants to use their landlord’s complaints process before taking legal action, and we want to work with you to resolve issues quickly and fairly.

📞Contact our Housing Team on 01325 405 333 :

➡Report unresolved repairs
➡Escalate complaints
➡Book inspections and repairs

📋Just a reminder to all Tenants to only allow people into your property if you are expecting the visitor and they have ID.

👍All Darlington Borough Council employees carry ID.
