NORTH Lancashire residents on the lookout for affordable rented homes are invited to a drop-in event at Halton next Monday (June 25).

Lancaster City Council hopes to welcome people to its newly refurbished bungalow at 2 Penny Stone Road in the village, between 10am and 2pm, to learn more about social housing available to rent.

Council staff will be on hand to answer questions and help people fill out application forms, and refreshments will be served.

Applications are being invited from anyone who has worked or lived in the Lancaster district for the past three years or has close family who have lived in the district for more than five years. This applies to those who are working, retired, single, have a family or are living in private rented accommodation.

If you would like to apply for housing at the event, take along ID for yourself or your family, proof of current address and proof of income/benefits so that your application can be processed.

If you cannot make the event, visit www.idealchoicehomes.co.uk, call 01524-582005 or email idealchoicehomes@lancaster.gov.uk
