Council House Waiting Lists
Dear information team,
I would like to make a freedom of information request for the following information:
I would like to know the number of people on the waiting list for social housing as of 31st January 2023.
I would like to know the mean wait time for social housing in 2023 for each band: A, B and C. If the bands are not applicable then just the average overall.
I would like to know many ex serviceman/veterans were on the waiting list as of 31st January 2023.
I would like to know how many women who were victims of domestic abuse were on the waiting list as of 31st January 2023 (this may be categorized as violence/abuse in current home).
If you require clarification on any of these points please do get in touch.
Yours faithfully,
Luke Chafer
