Assisted Garden Scheme for Tenants - Ground Breaker

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder - Housing

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This report sets out the assistance available for tenants who need additional support to bring their garden/s to an acceptable standard.

Reasons for the decision:

The recommendations enable the Council, as a responsible landlord to provide a one - off gardening service to tenants unable to do so themselves and then work with the tenants in keeping their garden/s in an acceptable condition and their tenancy breach-free.

Alternative options considered:

To continue to enforce the tenancy agreement on households unable to address the tenancy breach with the acknowledgement the instigation of legal action is unlikely.
