A message from our Chief Executive Friday, 15 January 2021 With the government’s lockdown message continuing to ask us to stay at home, we have reviewed our services to make sure that we are doing everything we can to prevent the spread of the virus. The health and safety of our customers and our people remains our top priority

WDH's Construction Team is celebrating a 98% tenant satisfaction score on their environmental scheme on the Monkhill estate in Pontefract.

Welcome to the third edition of the Tombridge Crescent Newsletter, we would like to wish all our tenants a Happy New Year and best wishes for 2021.  We are pleased to announce we have approval and work is scheduled to start on 18 January 2021.  Operatives on site will adhere to strict Covid-19 health and safety guidance which has been put in place to keep everyone safe.  Please continue to check WDH News tag cloud (Kinsley) for any further updates.  Please click here to read this month's issue of Tombridge News.  

Our latest Annual Report details how we are delivering transformative changes for our customers, our people, our business, and our communities.

Like many organisations last year, WDH had to adapt to homeworking for many of its employees so we could keep you and our people, as safe as possible and still ensure we could deliver our services to you. To help us learn more about your experience and expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to invite you to take part in an independent survey, which forms part of a wider research project.

Following last night’s announcement from the Prime Minister announcing a third lockdown in England, I want to reassure all our tenants that your safety and wellbeing remains our top priority.

This year, WDH launched a campaign to find the unsung heroes that have helped others during the pandemic, to give them a festive surprise just in time for Christmas. Read about the 12 winners and their act of kindness.

The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the amount of people suffering with their mental health and wellbeing more than ever. Our Wellbeing Team has continued to provide outstanding support for over 500 tenants, over the phone and face to face, during this time.

I am sure you will all agree that 2020 been a very challenging year. Whether you have been isolating at home, continuing to work, combining work with playing the role of teacher or carer, have overcome the virus yourself or have tragically lost a loved one, I think it is safe to say that all of us have been affected in some way by this pandemic. I hope that we may now be over the worst and we might be able to look towards a more positive 2021.

As part of its drive to significantly increase the number of affordable homes in the district, Wakefield Council is working in partnership with WDH to bring forwards brand new homes on a high profile, city centre site.
