I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for
information held by the council

Specifically, I would like the following information:

1. The total number of people currently on the waiting list for council
housing properties, broken down by bedroom number?

2. The number of people currently on the waiting list for housing in each
area of the council, broken down by property bedroom number?

3. The anticipated waiting time for council accommodation, broken down by
bedroom number.

4. The anticipated waiting time for council accommodation in each
geographical area, broken down by bedroom property number.

5. The average waiting time for council accommodation, broken down by
bedroom number, in each of the last ten years.

6. The average waiting time for council accommodation in each geographical
area, broken down by bedroom number, in each of the last ten years.

The council has no housing stock so the response is 0 or N/A to all
questions
