Submission History: By Councillor Bill Butler:- "Council notes that the former Assisted House Garden Maintenance Scheme delivered a service to the city's over 70s, with medical conditions which would prevent them from maintaining their garden. Council further notes that this scheme no longer operates due to a lack of funding. Council believes that 13,000 vulnerable households across the City have been let down as a result of this; and rejects any assertion that the decision to withdraw the Assisted Garden Maintenance Scheme is a result of the pandemic. Council therefore resolves to instruct the administration to produce proposals, and identify appropriate funding, to provide the same level of service to affected households; and that this should be reported to the Wellbeing, Empowerment, Community and Citizen Engagement City Policy Committee at the earliest opportunity."
