The Choice Based Letting scheme (CBL) is the Council’s primary method of housing allocation since October 2011. Applicants on the Housing List should consult the Council’s designated website on a weekly basis in order to check for suitable advertised properties. This allows applicants choose properties suitable to their needs."
