Choice Based Letting (CBL) has been the Council’s primary method of housing allocation since 2014.  CBL allows applicants to remain on the housing list until they secure an allocation in a property in an area that they are interested in and therefore average waiting times do not necessarily reflect the time on the housing list of all applicants.
