Redbridge Council AI-driven empathetic housing letters
Redbridge Council is implementing AI to generate more empathetic housing letters for residents.
Redbridge Council decided in November 2025 to implement artificial intelligence technology to create clearer and more empathetic letters for residents regarding housing matters. This decision followed a presentation on housing needs complaints, which included a recommendation to leverage AI for informative and sensitive communication.
The presentation, delivered by Melanie Gahir, Acting Head of Strategy and Performance, and Councillor Saima Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness, outlined proposed improvements to the council's complaints procedure. There are no further meetings currently scheduled on this topic.
