I don't feel safe in my home, can I move?

We will always work with you to ensure that you are safe at home. In very exceptional circumstances, for example where you are at a high risk of violence, the council has discretion to consider a managed move from your home. If you do not feel safe in your home, please contact the housing team as detailed in 'How can I report ASB?'

Should you feel at immediate risk and feel that it is unsafe to remain in your home you can approach any local authorities' Housing Solutions team.

Alternative routes for rehousing are below, please speak to your housing officer for more information:

• Apply for a transfer via the housing waiting list. If you are downsizing you will receive a priority and potentially an incentive payment
• Mutual exchange (via Homeswapper)
• Moving to retirement housing those over 60 years old

Details of these options can also be found on our Council tenants page.
