Housing Options for Essential Workers
The Council is keen to create sustainable communities and help
people whose skills are essential to the local economy, live in the
District. If you are a Key Worker or work in a service/industry
that benefits the community and are unable to buy or rent your own
home on the open market, the Council might be able to help.
