Suspensions

Due to previous anti-social behaviour, racist or criminal activity some customers may be restricted from certain estates or areas of the borough for issues of individual and community safety. This may result in some customers being suspended from actively expressing interest in available homes.
 
If you are suspended from the lettings scheme you will be informed in writing of this suspension and the reasons why. If you feel the decision is wrong you can request a review of this decision.
