Why are we joining a sub regional Choice Based Lettings scheme?
The Government has set a target for all local authorities to introduce CBL by 2010 and the best way of doing this is to work together as sub regional or regional partnership. The Tees Valley CBL partnership is made up of a number of local authorities and registered social landlords who are working together to develop a customer focused choice based letting scheme, which will cover the whole of the sub region. A sub regional CBL scheme will bring together a larger pool of vacant properties, offering more choice for applicants. The resources and costs for developing and implementing the scheme will be shared between the partners and so it will be more efficient and cost effective to deliver.
