The garden maintenance scheme aims to help tenants who are elderly, disabled or medically unable to maintain their garden and do not have any other members of their family who are able to maintain their garden for them.
The scheme is only for Council tenants and you can apply by contacting your Housing and Support Officer using Housing Online or by phone.
Costs
We charge an annual administration fee of £90. This fee is non-refundable and you must pay it before any maintenance work is carried out.
There is now no need to have a Garden Waste Permit if you have one brown bin. However, if you require more than one brown bin for your garden waste, a permit will still be required to be displayed on all bins. We will make arrangements for permits to be delivered to you at no additional cost.
If you have any questions about the scheme please contact your Housing and Support Officer.
