Number of people waiting for council housing
This page shows the number of people waiting for council housing. They are either on the main waiting list or the transfer list. People on the transfer list are already in council housing (or a housing association), but seek a different property.
We publish this information every month.
Information on this page may inform your bid for council housing through our allocations and lettings process.
