NEW LOOK FOR DERBY HOMES WEBSITE

Derby Homes is re-launching its website with a new look and improved services for tenants and leaseholders.

Derby Homes was set up in April 2002 to manage, maintain and improve council homes across Derby and introduced its first website shortly afterwards.

Phil Davies, Chief Executive of Derby Homes says: "We carried out a review of the site and decided to update it because it had grown so much since it was first launched.  We also wanted to make sure that it was fully accessible by as many people as possible and that we kept up with new legislation about websites.”

He went on to say: "Our updated website has a brand new look and is packed full of news, views, stories and information.  For example, you can find out when your local housing office is open, read our latest newsletter, look at our press releases, see how we are performing, or just find out about the services we offer."

The new website will be on-line from Monday 31 January 2005 and can be viewed at www.derbyhomes.org.
