Further Assistance with Renewal Grants

Some applicants have experienced problems understanding what is required when completing the application form, so we have complied a list of Frequently Asked Questions in the hope this will help.

 

 

If you would like further advise or assistance in completing you application form please feel free to contact any member of the team.

 

We have had a number of applicants experiencing problems locating contractors to provide quotes, so we have pulled together a list of contractors who have previously worked in the Renewal Area. This is NOT a list of recommended contractors and you should treat these contractors the same as any other and ask to see examples of their previous works.
