Grants for renovations available

7:00am Saturday 1st December 2007


NEW Forest District Council still has £50,000 left in its £100,000 renovation grants budget with four months to go of this financial year.

The council is sending out a reminder that grants of up to £5,000 are available for essential repairs and home improvements. The grants are means tested, so only people on certain income-related benefits will qualify.

Disabled facilities grants are still available for people who require adaptations, such as wheelchair ramps, stairlifts and bathroom and kitchen improvements. They apply to home owners and tenants alike. Call the grants helpline on 023 8028 5151.
