Episode Synopsis

Winter has arrived and social housing faces one of its toughest periods for managing repairs and maintenance of their properties in order to ensure customers have a warm, safe home. With the problems presented from the risk of damp and condensation mould and with the backdrop of tightened measures and issues around resources, plus a backlog from the pandemic, what have Platform been doing to prepare for this winter? Thanks to the work that's been done as part of the Property Change programme and projects that have focussed on key priorities, we're in a much better place to face the challenges of this winter.  We sat down with Dennis Evans, Executive Director of Property and Linda Colburn, Director of Asset Management to discuss the aims of the change programmes and the results so far.
