Cllr Margaret Griffiths, Portfolio Holder for Housing, said: “We hope in taking this decision, our tenants can have the peace of mind that they can remain in their home for as long as they need it.
"We will continue to assist those tenants who wish to downsize when the time is right for them to do so.”
