We have launched a consultation over proposals for a new approach to how we allocate council homes to residents on the housing register in Eastbourne.

Our allocations policy sets out how the council assesses the eligibility of applicants for the housing register, and how we allocate council properties.

An independent review has recommended we develop a new allocations policy and we are inviting your feedback to help shape the new policy.

We want to have a policy that provides a better experience for people applying to our housing register, and one that is fair, efficient, and makes the best use of the limited number of properties available.

Have your say

The consultation will stay open until 5pm on Friday 18 April 2025.
