I WOULD like to know what the council housing list is all about.

My daughter and her family have been on the waiting list for eight years.

They recently changed the banding system and notified my daughter she was no longer on it as she didn’t apply again.

She got it all sorted out and was re-instated on the list in a higher band and told to bid for properties, which she has done for years.

Recently she put in a bid for a house and was told someone else got it who was not in the same high band and had only been on the waiting list four years.

My daughter was also told by two members of housing staff that people coming here were getting places who didn’t need the properties they were given ie bigger than was needed. What is the point?
