Scrutiny

A Scrutiny Review provides customers with an opportunity to delve deep into housing matters which they may be concerned about or underperforming areas where they feel there is room for improvement. By involving customers in our decision-making, we are able to enhance our services, increase satisfaction, and become more efficient.

These reviews strengthen the relationship between tenant and landlord, fostering trust and improving our reputation in the process. We believe that effective communication is key, and we are dedicated to providing an open and honest forum where customers can have their questions answered and suggestions respected.

  • Pamela Holliday

    Pamela’s scrutiny journey started in 2009 through OVH’s InVision newsletter, it said if you want to be involved, ring this number, so she thought she would give it a go. Pam was very impressed at the first meeting with the staff support and the friendliness.

    In 2012 she was voted to be Chair, a position she takes very seriously. To be a good leader, you have to have a good team, and Pam believes she has an excellent team, who play to each other’s strengths. Pam said she will keep going for as long as the team wants her there.

    She encourages anybody who is thinking about it to just come along and meet the team, there is no pressure, and they have lots of fun. By joining the team, Pam has met some friends for life.
