Properties becoming available for re-letting are no longer advertised on our website but are allocated via a direct matching system – this is where officers at the council identify a suitable applicant on the Housing Register for each vacancy that arises.
We no longer have application forms to join the Housing Register. If you have a housing problem and think you may need social housing, please contact a member of the Housing Options team.
