Thank you for your request dated 06 February 2023
Our response is as follows:
1) As of the date that this FOI request is dealt with can I ask how many
people are there currently on the waiting list with priority banding B1
with a registration date PRIOR to 07/07/2022 who are entitled to a two
bedroom property?
There are 825 people on the Choice Based Letting waiting list with a
registration date of 6 July 2022 or earlier. These people have a Live or
Suspended bidding status and a Band B1 priority, where 2 bedrooms are
indicated in either the minimum or maximum bedroom need.
1.2) Can you please provide me with the dates of registration for each of
these
Please refer to the attached spreadsheet. Please note that the numbers

1.3) Can you please confirm how many of these applicants from the above
figures; with a registration date prior to 07/07/2022 are actively bidding
each time a property becomes available
We are unable to provide this information. Not every applicant would bid
every week as it would depend on what properties were advertised and what
the applicant was requesting/eligible for.
2) As of the date that this FOI request is dealt with can I ask how many
people are there currently on the waiting list with priority banding A who
are entitled to a two bedroom house?
36 people. This is based on the Choice Based Letting waiting list with a
Live or Suspended status and a Band A priority, where 2 bedrooms are
indicated in either the minimum or maximum bedroom need.
