It gives examples of how councils can do this, including setting aside a proportion of properties for former members of the Armed Forces under a local lettings policy, which is what Cheltenham Borough Council have done.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 28/03/2017 15:18:31 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
