We may offer alternative and more suitable housing if this is available, or arrange for necessary works to your home. This might include ramps for a wheelchair, special fittings or ground floor facilities, etc.
Read more about "Welfare housing improvements"...Some repairs to tenants' homes will only be undertaken if paid for in advance by the tenant. This is necessary because the council only has sufficient funds to replace components at the end of their normal expected lifespan. We cannot budget for unexpected repairs that result from misuse or accidental damage caused by tenants, their families or their guests. As such, tenants must be aware that repairs of this nature will need to be paid for in full by the tenant before the council carries out any works.
