The Waiting List

The number of homes we have available to let at any one time is low compared to the number of people we have wanting them. To ensure that those people in greatest need are given homes first a points system is used.

The waiting list is divided into three main categories Families, Adult, and Elderly and each has its own application form and set of eligibility rules.
