Hi there and welcome to This Week at Orwell. Here is a recap of news stories around the Orwell community this last week.
Collection of temporary heaters
During the winter we were able to provide our customers with temporary heaters for homes when repairs to heating systems were required. As the warmer weather is now with us, we would like to arrange collection of those heaters, at a convenient time, where the repair work has now been completed. Please can Orwell customers either contact customers services or email the team directly at repairs@orwell-housing.co.uk to arrange a conveneient pick up time.
