Request

I am requesting the following information under the Freedom of Information Act:
1.      A list of all the different priority “bands” (or levels, or categories) in the council’s social housing register/waiting list, and the current criteria for inclusion in each band
2.      The number of people currently in each priority band
3.      The average time the people in each priority band have been on the social housing register/waiting list (regardless of whether they have changed priority band during that time)
4.      The predicted/likely waiting time to secure social housing for anyone newly joining each priority band 
The following question only applies to councils with responsibilities for carrying out housing repairs:
5.      Please list all housing repair jobs concerning broken communal lifts since January 2023 – in each case, please state the location (individual tower block/housing development), whether the council classes the block/development in question as being accessible for disabled people, what the problem was, and how long it took for it to be fixed. Successive broken lifts at the same location should be listed separately.
I would like the information sent by email. Where councils have housing ALMOs or similar, this request is being sent to both the council and the ALMO.
