I understand that some residents do not want to return home or do not yet feel ready to do so.

Eligible households from those blocks who accept a council property will be offered a lifetime secure tenancy and eligible households from those blocks who accept a housing association property will be offered an assured tenancy. The Council will request that housing associations grant tenancies of at least the same length as that held by the tenant previously.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 16/04/2018 15:26:05 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
