Welcome to the latest edition of Accord's customer magazine, Our House
We hope you find the following articles useful and informative. They include an update on the new Universal Credit system that is being rolled out, as well as information about our repairs schedule.
Please do take a moment to familiarise yourself with our >Christmas hours. As our Customer First contact centre will be closed over the Christmas period, until 4th January, we will only be taking emergency calls during this time. The article contains useful information about what is classed as an emergency.
As Christmas is now just days away we would like to take the opportunity to wish you all the very best for the festive season.
2020 has been a particularly difficult and challenging year for many of us. As the weather gets colder, do look after yourselves and look out for your vulnerable neighbours.
Wishing you all the very best for a safe, secure and peaceful year to come.
If you have any suggestions for articles you would like including in the future, please >email the editorial team.
