Social Housing

The only social housing - and virtually the only rented property on the island - is owned by the council which has a small estate dating from the mid 1970's. It consists of seven three-bedroom houses and six one-bedroom properties, originally let as sheltered houses, but now also available to general needs. There are also two small two-bedroom properties which were also originally meant for residents requiring care, but are now available to general needs applicants.
