• The Council's policy on offering choice

We advertise available homes to offer the maximum level of choice to people applying for housing.

Those registered for housing can express an interest in properties they would like to be offered by placing a bid for them through the Choice Based Lettings scheme. The applicant with the highest priority, who bids for an advertised home, will be offered that property (unless there are reasons why they cannot be offered the property, such as rent arrears).
