Garden maintenance
How we provide this service
Information on Garden maintenance is supported by Housing & Property Service Unit, Housing Operational.
Council Tenants - Garden Maintenance
At the moment we are unable to offer you any assistance with your garden and ask you to look to family and friends for help. We are currently exploring options through our sheltered housing compacts and hope to be able to offer some assistance in the near future. We can refer you to a contractor, but you will need to pay for any work they carry out.
