Initial engagement sessions were held with Members in February 2022 where a number of questions about housing came up. The Project Team has compiled them into a Housing Q&A booklet. Print copies will be sent to all households.
The information provided in the booklet is also intended to help with future engagement sessions where Members will be asked to provide input on a range of housing issues, such as how the housing list is managed, how homes are allocated, how rental homes are managed etc.
