Communal breakdowns
Owing to technical difficulties, we were unable to send text messages during the period of July 2020 - mid October 2020. Our text messaging service has now been fully restored and we'd like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused
This page is updated regularly with planned and unplanned outages on our estates. All times quoted are indicative and actual return to service times and dates may change.
If your issue is not listed here, find out how to report a repair.
The decision has been made to change the communal heating system over to winter mode borough wide in phases on 01/10/2020 & 02/10/2020. This is due to the outside temperatures dropping below 17°C in the day and below 10°C in the evening for five consecutive days.
