Saddened by Swift Destruction

We are very saddened to learn of the destruction of one of the largest swift nesting sites in Surrey, at Regent House in Dorking, by Clarion Housing Association and the Hill Group. We implore both of these companies to take steps to both make reparation (though nothing can ever replace this loss) and ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.

100% useless

Clarion housing have not bothered to confirm the new rent amount with UC for over 7 weeks. A reminder 2 weeks ago has also been ignored. I phoned Clarion at 4.29pm, waited on hold, and waited. By 5.10pm no one has answered. Apparently if you are on hold at closing time, they just leave you on hold. What an absolute joke.
