For progress on the proposed changes in the county of Gloucestershire, please view the policy which is on Tewkesburys Borough Councils website.
Stroud District Council is the largest landlord in the area and also help those in need of housing get homes through housing associations (Registered Social Landlords.) We aim to let our homes efficiently, to make the best use of our housing stock and keep improving the service we offer. The service is run by Stroud District Council Housing Partnership (councillors, officers and tenants). The Tenant Participation Compact sets out the standards you can expect.
The Housing Act 1996 as amended sets out those who should get priority for housing. The Human Rights Act 1998 makes sure that people are treated fairly. This applies both to tenants and new applicants. The points system is our way of being fair to everybody.
