Decorating Scheme Introduction

What decorating is available?

If you are a council tenant it is your responsibility to decorate the inside of your home. However, this scheme provides a decorating service for some older and disabled tenants. Improvements were made to the scheme in April 2006. Eligible households can now have two rooms decorated every 5 years. Note also that the age eligibility has been reduced from 75 to 70 years.
