“A review of Cornwall’s social housing register has seen about 12,000 applicants taken off the waiting list.
Cornwall Housing has reviewed the accounts of every applicant who hasn’t logged into the allocation system for more than a year.
Those who didn’t get in touch when they were asked to say they wanted to stay on the register have been removed from the list.
When the review started there were more than 30,000 applicants waiting for homes, that’s now been cut down to 18,500.”
