It would be interesting to see how they measure waiting lists ( and I don't mean the obvious method of counting them
)
I have my name down but my cirucmstances have changed so I won't be needing one now. If I don't go and tell them to remove me from the list there seems to be no method of checking if applications are still required. Therefore the list basically grows and grows but the real requirement is probably much less.
One of the housing associations has a policy of 3 monthly renewal for their waiting list. If you don't tell them every 3 months you still want a house then your'e off the list and have to apply again.
