Access to Information
Through the Access to Information Scheme, we're required to proactively publish some types of information that will always be available to residents. This is known as a publication scheme, which you can find below.
Panel members welcomed the idea of a publication scheme. They felt it would increase transparency and give easy access to information of interest to residents. Some said it would allow residents to more easily hold their housing provider to account. Below is a list of what panel members said should be included in the scheme and how you can find this information on the Prima Group website.
What Housing Providers Are Spending Money On
In 2022/23 we had an income of £15.7m from rents and service charges. We spent £12.2m on delivering key services; this covers things like managing tenancies, repairing homes, carrying out safety and maintenance checks, as well as repaying debts. Surplus for the year was £3.5m.
Business Plans
Our Corporate Plan provides you with a brief introduction to the organisation and sets out our long-term objectives and goals, including our visions, values and priorities.
Policies & Procedures
Policies and procedures are designed to regulate all major decisions, actions, and principles of the organisation.
Inspection Outcomes & Ratings
Every year, a thorough self-assessment of how we meet the Regulatory Standards for Social Housing is carried out, and the findings are reported to the Board for assurance purposes. Our self-assessment found that we comply with the expectations of the Regulatory Standards, both economic and consumer standards.
What the Service Charge is Being Spent On
If you live in one of our homes where you receive a service to any part of your building, for example, hallway cleaning, or communal garden maintenance, you will need to pay service charges. These are small charges that are charged on top of your rent that cover the costs of providing any services you receive.
