Sheffield has the highest waiting list for council houses
in Yorkshire. Sheffield Council says more than 28,600 people are waiting to be
housed. But officials added only a ‘small proportion’ are actively seeking
properties, with fewer than 7,000 people putting in a bid since October. The
figures have been issued in response to the GMB union naming Sheffield as the
place in South Yorkshire with the highest number of people on a council housing
waiting list. The GMB’s figures are from April 2013. They put the number of
households in the city on the housing waiting list at that time at more than
60,000. Read more on the Sheffield Star website.
