The G15 has welcomed the publication of the draft Social Housing Regulation Bill.
Richard Hill, G15 Vice-Chair and Chief Executive of
One Housing Group, said:
“Every person we provide a home for has the fundamental
right to live in a well maintained home, to be listened to, and to be treated
with respect by their housing provider. This must be at the heart of every
interaction we have with our residents and customers. Otherwise, despite all
the investment we make in people’s homes and the commitment colleagues across
our sector have to making a difference for people, we will have woefully missed
the point.
“We’ve repeatedly called for specific legislation to be
brought forward to help underpin much of the change social housing providers
are making to improve the homes and services that we provide to people. We look
forward to working with the government, residents, customers, and partners to
develop this legislation in the coming weeks and months.”
