WAVERLEY is seeking help from residents, housing providers, developers and anyone with an interest in affordable housing to help set the right priorities for new affordable homes in the borough.

The council is working on its new housing strategy, which will set out the type of housing that residents will be able to afford, either to rent or to help them get a foot on the housing ladder. Waverley wants to make sure that people have a chance to live in a home that is suitable and affordable.

Anyone can fill out the questionnaire – whether they own their own home, are a council or housing association tenant, living with their parents and looking to move out for the first time, starting a family or are privately renting, the council want to hear from them.

Carole King, portfolio holder for housing, said the questionnaire will help the council set the right priorities:

“We will be providing housing in a range of tenures, from council homes to rent and shared ownership schemes with housing associations. I hope residents will help us to set the right priorities by completing the questionnaire.”

The survey is available at www.waverley.gov.uk/housingsurvey. Residents who would prefer a printed version can get a copy by ringing 01483 523 555.
