Dear Mr Bates

Thank you for your below request for information, received by the
authority on 15 December 2023. I can confirm that North Northamptonshire

have a lead tenant who is a UK national

foreign national

2) The total number of UK nationals who are occupants of social/council
housing in your council area.
- the total number of foreign nationals who are occupants of
