A group of Hereford pensioners unhappy at the service of their housing provider have ditched national contractors for county ones.
The 18 residents at Guardian Court, off Ferrers Street, became so disappointed that repairs were being carried out by workers travelling from Essex and South Wales that they established a ‘right to manage’ group.
The group teamed up with Herefordshire Council contractor Amey to provide grounds and building maintenance along with cleaning services and is now benefitting from lower service charges.
