Who do we help?

• People over the age of 70. You must have no other person living in the property between 16 and 70 years of age and must have a clear rent account
• Disabled people. You must have no other person living in the property between 16 and 70 years of age, you must be in receipt of full housing benefit and you will need to have a clear rent account. You will also need to provide proof of your disability
• If only one of you is registered disabled and the other person is below 70 years of age, help can be given by way of a material or equipment allowance. You must still ensure you have a clear rent account

 

Garden assistance scheme

The garden assistance scheme is designed to help with the maintenance of grass areas, shrubs, bushes and hedges.

We will:

• cut all grass areas regularly (the time of year and the weather can affect how regularly this takes place)
• trim all shrubs/bushes regularly to the appropriate size for your garden
• trim all hedges twice a year (this is normally July and October so we don't disturb nesting birds)
• clear up and remove all clippings and grass cuttings after work has finished
• inspect gardens regularly to ensure the work is being carried out to a high standard
