Resident reviewers
Resident reviewers are volunteers who have agreed to assist the
Council in mystery shopping exercises. This means that they test
Council services, usually by visiting or telephoning the Council
and asking for help with a made up, but realistic, situation.
Resident reviewer exercises
Resident reviewers have given their feedback on a variety of
services and exercises have included:
- visiting the Council's libraries
- telephoning the Parking Department
- assessing standards of street cleanliness
- emailing the Council's generic contact addresses
- visiting Council reception points
Reviewers report back on both the positive aspects of a service
as well as areas for improvement, in a non-threatening way. Details
of completed and planned exercises can be found here:
Reviewers have helped assess a variety of different aspects of
Council services, including:
- time taken to get through to an operator or time waited at
reception
- customer care skills (the way in which residents are treated by
staff)
- staff knowledge
- the physical aspects of a building/reception area
- general feedback on what it is like to use the Council’s
services
