Govt Pushes Ahead With 'Right To Move' Guarantee
Social tenants who need to move for work will no longer be pushed to the back of the housing waiting list.
The government is pressing ahead with new regulations and statutory guidance to ensure town halls adopt a 'Right to Move' guarantee for all existing council or housing association tenants.
It means those tenants who land a new job or an apprenticeship opportunity in a different part of the country will no longer have to sacrifice their home for work.
The change follows a public consultation on the 'Right to Move' proposal, which showed widespread support for the reform.
