Tenant Satisfaction Measures Survey 2024/25

Housing Services carry out a general satisfaction survey for tenants and leaseholders each year. It is important to understand how our tenants and leaseholders feel about the services we provide, to be sure we are delivering them in the way and to the standard that you want. This survey will also be used to calculate annual tenant satisfaction measures (for tenants only) which will be published in accordance with regulations set out by the Regulator of Social Housing. We carried out this survey in August and September 2024.

A summary of the results is provided below and there is also a Tenant Satisfaction Survey 2024 video available to watch on YouTube - https://youtu.be/x00R7riNF2o.

Summary of Findings

  • 77% satisfied with the overall service provided by Cannock Chase Council
  • 78% satisfied with the overall repairs service
  • 70% satisfied with the time taken to complete most recent repair
  • 76% satisfied that the Council provides a home that is well maintained
  • 80% satisfied that Cannock Chase Council provides a home that is safe
  • 58% satisfied that the Council listens to their views and acts upon them
  • 66% satisfied that the Council keeps them informed about things that matter to them
  • 76% agree that the Council treats them fairly and with respect
  • 49% satisfied with Cannock Chase Council's approach to complaints handling
  • 66% satisfied that Cannock Chase Council keeps communal areas clean and well maintained
  • 62% satisfied that Cannock Chase Council makes a positive contribution to their neighbourhood.
  • 55% satisfied with Cannock Chase Council's approach to handling anti-social behaviour.

The above are what is known as the perception measures, obtained from a satisfaction survey. There are also management performance measures which are collected over the financial year (April to March) and are reported in the summer. For more information see the 2023/24 drop down below, which includes last years' results as well.

Tenant Satisfaction Measures 2023/24

Housing Services carried out a general satisfaction survey for housing tenants and leaseholders in 2023. This has become known as the Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSM) Perception Survey and will now be undertaken each year. A third of tenants were randomly selected to take part in the survey conducted in late June/July 2023.

The TSM perception survey results provide information around tenants' perceptions of the Council's housing service delivery to support effective scrutiny by tenants of our performance in managing their homes and neighbourhoods. The results are reported to the Regulator of Social Housing as part of their regulatory standards that all Registered Providers of Social Housing (including Local Authorities like Cannock Chase Council) are required to adhere to.

There are Government Websites that provide further information on Regulatory Standards and the Tenant Satisfaction Measures.

A summary of the results is provided in the section below and a video of the TSM results is available on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALQhwthI74g

The final detailed report can be accessed below, along with an infographic summarising the findings.
