If you are in Hartlepool and properties are available, why not bid, I'm in Stockton-on-Tees and work in Darlington, I did not bid for new homes in Darlo but I was nominated by Darlo Council for new home, they are not completed yet until next year but I was promised one as the available ones are too small, nevertheless the one I am now is also small so I don't know what is actual reason for not getting one as I work in Darlo and many service users we have, are living in the same postcode areas of new homes
