Service Standards

A series of service standards have been produced for the Housing, Regeneration and Planning Directorate. The service standards aim to provide clear information to customers and Members about what to expect from us in the services we offer. These also aim to clarify what we cannot provide, and so reduce unrealistic expectations.
