With effect from 1st April, Newport Housing Trust has brought management of the maintenance function in-house. For the past nine years, the management of the maintenance for Newport Housing Trust properties has been out-sourced. Following consultation with tenants and a review of the Housing Management and Maintenance function, Newport Housing Trust decided it was time to move forward and bring the management of their maintenance in-house. This will enable closer contact with the contractors overall resulting in providing a better service for their tenants.
