How we ran the Tenant Perception Survey in 2023
2023's Tenant Survey took place over the summer. A paper copy of the survey was sent to every household, we also digitally sent opportunities to complete the survey via direct email, Keep me posted bulletins, Facebook, via the phone, in person at existing visits and also at one of our 13 summer 'meet the team' events.
We received a total of 704 responses. Thank you to all the tenants who responded, we really appreciated your time and effort to achieve this.
To maximise the opportunity to speak to as many residents as possible, Dover District Council agreed to run a prize draw.
Cllr Brivio, Portfolio Holder for Social Housing, Port Health, Skills and Education, selected the winners at random from the survey respondents that entered the prize draw.
Calvin Stothart, from Eythorne won the £200 prize, with his brother Anthony accepting the prize on his behalf. Anthony said, "Wow, Calvin will be absolutely over the moon. Thank you!"
Below left are the DDTCG with Cllr Pam Brivio selecting the prize winners, and right, Anthony Stothart, accepting the top prize.
Other prize winners included a resident in Ash Grove, Elvington winning the £100 prize and a resident in Molland Close, Ash receiving the £50 prize.
Thank you to everyone who participated and look out for next years competition.
