The allocation of council accommodation is based on a points system. You are allocated points dependant upon your circumstances, the higher your points level the greater the likelihood of being rehoused.

The number of points that you need to be allocated a property is not fixed. The level required will depend on who else is waiting for property in the area and how frequently property becomes available. The more locations you tell us you will consider the greater your chances of being allocated property.

Full details of the allocation scheme are published in a booklet called A guide to the Housing Register which can be obtained the Coucil Offices in Marmion House or telephone Housing Advice on 01827 709459.
