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 recently carried out this survey in August and September 2024.
A summary of the results is provided below and a video of the TSM results is available here: Cannock Chase Council Tenant Satisfaction Survey 2024
The final detailed report can be accessed below, along with an infographic summarising the findings.

- 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.
More information on the Regulatory Standards and the Tenant Satisfaction Measures can be found here: Regulatory standards - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and Transparency, Influence and Accountability (including Tenant Satisfaction Measures) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
