Important announcement

STORM BOELO - The Met Office’s Yellow Weather warning for strong winds has been upgraded to Amber from 9pm on Saturday (24 October) and is due to last until 9pm on Sunday 25 October. Over the coming days and hours Council teams will be responding to any incidents that may occur as a result of the storm including flooding and fallen trees.

You can report flooding or fallen trees to us online.

However, you can let us know about emergency incidents such as a fallen tree blocking a road by calling 0300 123 4510. 

Properties that become vacant are allocated to people on our waiting list, which we call the Common Housing Register.

The Council has three lists which we allocate vacant properties from:

  • Waiting List (points)
  • Transfer List (points)
  • Homelessness List (date order) .

To enhance your housing prospects we would encourage you to apply to other housing providers and consider assistance from our Deposit Guarantee Scheme.
