Have your say on the Homefinder Lettings Policy.

Mansfield and Ashfield District Councils and the Homefinder parnter landlords are reviewing the Lettings Policy and we are keen to get your views. 

The Policy sets out who is able to join the Housing Register (waiting list) and how empty council and housing association properties are let. It is important the Policy reflects local needs and that applicants and residents have input into it. 

The survey will be open for 6 weeks, closing on 28th July 2025. To complete the survey click  https://r1.dotdigital-pages.com/p/7Q6J-94S/homefinder

Ashfield District Council is considering making changes to how vacant flats at Chatsworth Drive, Hucknall are let. 

An increase in anti-social behaviour in and around the flats means that action needs to be taken by agencies, including the Police and the Council's ASB Team. As part of this the proposal is to increase additional checks on prospective tenants. 

Details of the proposal can be found in the Letter sent to tenants. 

If you have any comments or concerns about the proposal, please email these to housingadmin@ashfield.gov.uk by 31st March 2025.
