Our Gas Safety Team is running a "Let Us In" campaign to help keep everyone safe and up to date with essential safety checks. 

If you allow access on the first visit for your Gas Safety Check and Electrical Safety Check, you’ll automatically be entered into our monthly Prize Draw — that’s £25 for the gas check and £25 for the electrical check. 

It’s a simple way to stay safe, avoid missed appointments, and be in with a chance to win. 

Thank you for helping us keep your home safe.

Our Tenant and Leaseholder Review Panel has now completed its first service area review, and we’d like to thank everyone who took part and shared their insights. 

The final report and minutes from all the panels meetings can be found on our Tenant and Leaseholder Review Panel webpage. 

Please keep an eye on our website over the coming months, as we’ll be sharing updates on how these recommendations are put into action. 

Your continued interest and involvement make a real difference to how we work together.

Estates across the District are walked once a year from April to October.  Estates with the most problems have been marked red, fewer problems amber and the least problems rated green. 

The results from the most recent inspections have now been published on our Annual Estate Inspections webpage. To find out more about your estate inspection, please contact the Neighbourhoods Team on 01543 462621 or by email: EMTeam@cannockchasedc.gov.uk. 

Housing Services are carrying out a general satisfaction survey for tenants and leaseholders during February and March 2026. The survey will take about 5 minutes to complete. By completing the survey you’ll be eligible to enter a free prize draw to win £100 worth of high street shopping vouchers. The survey will be sent to all tenants, including all Independent Living Scheme tenants, and all Leaseholders. 

Firstly an online link will be sent by email to all tenants who we hold an email address for and then a postal survey will be sent to all. The postal survey will also include a link and QR code that allows online completion if you would prefer.

For more information see: Tenant Satisfaction Measures and Performance Information | Cannock Chase District Council

Thank you to everyone who responded, we managed to secure a response rate of 52%. We will bring you a summary of the results in Spring 2026. Ideally we want to know more about everyone in our homes. We will be including similar questions in our housing application process to gather information about new tenants, asking questions at tenancy audits of current tenants and undertaking the census survey again in three years time. Your information helps us to better shape our services to meet your needs.

Gas Safety Tips for Council Tenants

• Annual check: All council homes receive a free annual gas safety check, carried out on our behalf by our contractor, Sure Maintenance. Tenants must allow access for this appointment to keep their home safe.
• Use registered engineers only: If you ever need gas work carried out, always make sure the engineer is Gas Safe registered. - See our Tenant Alterations Page for more information.
• Watch for warning signs: Yellow/orange flames, black marks on appliances, pilot lights that keep going out, or excessive condensation may mean something is wrong.
• Keep vents and flues clear: Never block them – they keep your appliances safe.
• Know the signs of CO poisoning: Headaches, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, collapse, and loss of consciousness.
• Install and test a CO alarm: Regularly test your alarm to make sure it works and is marked to standard EN50291.
• NEVER DIY gas work: Always call a registered engineer if you suspect a problem.

Gas Safe Register is the official body for qualified gas engineers in the UK. Visit www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk to find out more.
