Home Choice LincsYou may already be aware of Home Choice Lincs - a new, fairer and faster way of finding a home for rent in Northern Lincolnshire which will be introduced in October 2010.
It is part of a national initiative called Choice Based Lettings that brings local councils and housing associations together to jointly advertise homes available for rent.
The local partnership is made up of North Lincolnshire Council, North East Lincolnshire Council, North Lincolnshire Homes Ltd, Shoreline Housing Partnership Ltd and Longhurst and Havelok Homes, who are all working together to introduce the scheme.
The partnership is responsible for more than 20,000 homes across Northern Lincolnshire, but until now people wanting to rent a home have had to register separately and join a waiting list for each of the housing associations. The Home Choice Lincs scheme will mean that people only have to register once.
It also gives people more choice and information about homes that may be available to them throughout the whole of Northern Lincolnshire offering them better opportunities to find a home that’s right for them.

Steps are being taken to improve North East Lincolnshire Council’s recycling service which will result in some changes to households’ current collection days.
