Bolton Council have today launched a new consultation seeking stakeholder feedback on the revisions to the Housing Allocations and Lettings Policy. 

The Housing Allocations and Lettings Policy is a technical document setting out how the housing register is managed and how social rented properties available to let within the area are offered to customers.  It is not a replacement for the individual lettings policies that all the independent social landlords also have. 

Following a review of the existing Allocations and Lettings Policy, the draft updated policy reflects several changes in law and regulation, whilst also providing clarification of some elements of the policy to avoid ambiguity.  

Bolton Council is consulting with residents and stakeholders to allow opportunity for people to contribute their views to the revised policy.  Once the consultation and policy review is completed, the approved updated policy is proposed to be implemented from 1st January 2025.
