All the latest housing news for Dudley residents
A Guide to Repairs Responsibility
Dudley Council is the landlord of just over 21,000 homes in the Dudley borough. If you are a Dudley tenant, we are responsible for some, but not all, repairs to your home.
We have recently updated the repairs handbook, A Guide to Repairs Responsibility. This handbook is designed to provide you with useful information about your repair service.
To view, visit Repairs and Maintenance on the Dudley website and select Repairs Responsibility.
Housing satisfaction surveys
Dudley Council’s Housing Services will be conducting quarterly satisfaction surveys with council tenants. The next survey will begin on 17 June 2024, with further surveys in September and December 2024, and in March 2025.
The telephone survey will be carried out by staff at research company Acuity Research & Practice who will contact a random selection of council tenants. If you receive a call from Acuity the number displayed will be 01384 981091, which is a local area code. Acuity will not be calling from any other number.
Results from the last tenant satisfaction telephone survey, which took place during January and February 2024, have now been published.

Reporting anti-social behaviour
The Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Team is committed to preventing and responding to ASB and protecting victims of ASB in the Dudley borough.
If you are experiencing noise or other form of nuisance behaviour from your neighbours, please speak with them about your concerns in the first instance if you are able to and it is safe to do so; this may help to resolve the situation.
Please also remember to be mindful of your neighbours yourselves.
If your concern relates to a criminal matter please contact 101, or 999 in an emergency.
Do you have a spare room?
Dudley Council is supporting the YMCA Open Door campaign to recruit families in the Dudley borough who can offer a temporary home to a young person in need. The temporary accommodation could be for a few nights or on a longer-term basis.
If you could provide support to a young person or would like more information call 0121 524 1957 or e-mail opendoor@ymcabc.org.uk
