Exemption from residency criteria

  • Central Bedfordshire Council has a housing allocations policy that includes an exemption to residency and employment criteria to all currently serving and former Regular personnel. Ordinarily, applicants must have lived in the area for three years or worked in the area for six months. However, current and former Regular personnel are exempted, and also there is not a five-year time limit on ex-serving personnel making an application.
