Do the council provide garden maintenance for elderly tenants who are not capable of doing the work themselves?
The Council is only able to offer garden maintenance for some St Leger Homes of Doncaster (SLHD) tenants who are not capable of doing the work themselves. However, it is not possible to offer this service to all elderly tenants so to qualify tenants must meet certain criteria. Use this link to view the criteria www.stlegerhomes.co.uk/customer_information/looking_after_our_estates/garden_service.aspx The garden maintenance covers the cutting of grass and any hedges but does not include the maintenance of bushes, shrub beds and trees. In addition, extra work is often required to a garden before it is added to the list. If necessary, this work may be carried out as a ‘one off’ only, prior to the maintenance outlined above. The garden maintenance is carried out by Doncaster Council on behalf of St Leger Homes. It is important that you ask to see this before allowing any workmen into your property.
