Councillors in Wandsworth have approved a pilot scheme that will see social tenants allocated housing on the condition that they find work. If participants fail to find work or enrol on a training course they could be stripped of their tenancy. The scheme will run on a trial basis next summer. The pilot will then be assessed to see if it can be rolled out more widely. The move is part of a wider initiative in the Conservative-run borough that will also see working families given higher priority in the allocation of council homes. The authority is using powers in the Localism Act that give councils greater freedom to set rules on allocations. Read more on Inside Housing.
