The regulator's grade
C3
The Regulator of Social Housing checks how well landlords treat tenants. It gave Tamworth Borough Council grade C3 on 28 October 2026.
C3 means there are serious failings. The landlord needs to improve a lot. Grades go from C1 (best) to C4 (worst).

How it compares
We compared Tamworth Borough Council with 108 similar landlords: councils, 1,000 to 9,999 homes. These are tenants' answers to the 2025/26 survey and the landlord's own records.
Overall satisfaction: 55.1% of tenants were happy with the service. That puts it in the bottom quarter of similar landlords.
Repairs and homes: in the bottom quarter.
Being heard: in the bottom quarter.
Neighbourhood: in the bottom quarter.
Top quarter means it did better than at least three in four similar landlords. Bottom quarter means it did worse than at least three in four.
