Social housing register bands
See notes
1. A list of all the different priority “bands” (or levels, or categories) in the council’s social housing register/waiting list, and the current criteria for inclusion in each band
Allocations Policy has been supplied.
2. The number of people currently in each priority band
Band 1: 44
Band 2: 107
Band 3: 460
Band 4: 543
Band 5: 120
3. The average time the people in each priority band have been on the social housing register/waiting list (regardless of whether they have changed priority band during that time)
Band 1: 325 days
Band 2: 343 days
Band 3: 736 days
Band 4: 1136 days
Band 5: 1187 days
4. The predicted/likely waiting time to secure social housing for anyone newly joining each priority band
We are not able to provide a predicted/ likely waiting time as we create an individual wait list for each property that becomes void based upon requirements for the property, therefore an applicant’s position on the housing register will change for each property available.
The following question only applies to councils with responsibilities for carrying out housing repairs:
5. Please list all housing repair jobs concerning broken communal lifts since January 2023 – in each case, please state the location (individual tower block/housing development), whether the council classes the block/development in question as being accessible for disabled people, what the problem was, and how long it took for it to be fixed. Successive broken lifts at the same location should be listed separately.
