C3 NOTIFICATIONS
C3 PROGRESS PUBLIC HOUSING - C3’S AND SERVICE DELIVERY CHALLENGES
The SC Manager reported that:
A meeting was held about the reports and how Public Housing reports can be obtained. Public Housing has been invited to the meeting of 22 July 2021 to present their monitoring system with regard to C3’s and the flats repairs matters.
Mr Fula of Housing reported the following:
It is important that people log a call in order to get a complaints / reference number to send to the upgrade and maintenance team.
They have a back log of over 50 000 complaints and the depot does not have the capacity to deal with all the complaints timeously. They have employed the National Housing Corporation Agency to assist with the backlog. They have provided them with the C3 notification list and they will make sure that the R50m does not disappear, but that the community benefit from it.
He will supply the Councillors with the maintenance work schedules to be undertaken.
He encouraged Councillors to continue to submit all complaints to the housing office. He pointed out that if a complaint is not for them, they refer it to the relevant department to action.
Cllr R Adams thanked Mr Fula for his attendance and for the information. He said he had a serious problem with the attitude of the staff working at the housing office. He said that they were extremely rude to the residents and they hold the people ransom as no oversight is done on the work that they need to do. He said he was looking forward to working with Mr Fula to resolve this matter as the residents are also worthy of respect.
Ald March stated that street lighting was a major problem and that the call out time was too long. He said that he was glad that they going to look at the staff and the call out time.
Mr Fula said that he agreed with Cllr that they should deal with the staff members as they sometimes use the tenants as scapegoats. He said that residents must insist on a C3 notification number and that they should not leave without receiving a number. He said that they will definitely look at the timeframe when a van is despatched as accountability is important. Mr Fula said Housing is willing to do a presentation with regard to the maintenance on a quarterly basis to the SC.
Ald March thanked the official for the offer to give feedback on a quarterly basis and said that the SC manager will definitely invite them every quarter
