COUNCIL officials from Yorkshire have visited Bolton to find out about its new homesforyou scheme.
The system is a new way of allocating council and housing association properties by advertising them in the way an estate agency would. It means people can have a choice in what home and area they would like to live.
Executive member for housing Cll Noel Spencer said: "It's flattering that homesforyou is attracting attention. Sheffield is just the latest authority to come and see how it works." More details from 01204 335811.
