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.
