If you are a council tenant and are unable to cut your grass, we can do it for you.

If you are eligible, we will mow your lawn once per month between 1 April and 31 October. The service does not include any other gardening services.

This service has limited availability, so we need to make sure it benefits the people with the greatest need.

You must be at least 18 years old and be a council tenant living inside the city boundary.
You must have a disability and provide proof of receiving a corresponding benefit.
You must live alone, or only with other people who also qualify for the service.
You must have no family within a 10-mile radius who can help you.

We provide this service in partnership with CGM Group East Anglia Limited.
