I can see the value in Falkirk Council’s “Bolt On” training. It’s a forward thinking idea. One visit, job done. It saves time and money for repairs teams and is less hassle for tenants. More social housing providers should think this way. falkirkherald.co.uk/business/falki…

Japan - The second power plant of its type in the world, it is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year, enough to help power a desalination plant that supplies fresh water to the city and neighbouring areas. theguardian.com/world/2025/aug…
I worked for a housing association where office staff got better sick pay than trades. It took seven years before the management changed it. In that time, I saw injured colleagues nearly lose their homes trying to survive on SSP.

Every social landlord should be doing this. Bring services in house, take on apprentices, and build departments around tenants and frontline workers who know what’s going wrong in broken repairs systems. That’s how you build for the future. news.leicester.gov.uk/news-articles/…
Worked for both contractors and in-house since 2012. All contracts should be brought in-house and be rebuilt from the bottom up involving tenants and frontline workers on the ground.Too many decisions made by those who have never set foot on estate. Whole system is dysfunctional.

Reading posts from the movers and shakers in the social housing sector on LinkedIn is unbelievable. Detached from reality. You’d think the UK has the best housing system in the world. Many need to leave the office and get out on the ground to see the results of their actions

This is a good idea. They should gather updated contact information at the same time. Many contact numbers are missing or old and makes it difficult to contact the tenant once a repair has been reported.

New research says social housing satisfaction is improving—but that's not what we see on the frontline. Missed repairs, delays, and poor living conditions are still far too common. The numbers don’t tell the full story. 🏚️📉 🔗 showhouse.co.uk/new-research-s…
