Tenant Led Environmental Improvements Budget

What is it?

The Tenant Led Environmental Improvements Budget gives Oxford City Council's tenants and leaseholders a great opportunity to have more of a say over how we spend a £65,000 budget for environmental and security improvements across our estates.

All tenants' and leaseholders are being invited to put forward ideas, which are then assessed by a panel of tenants and officers, with the successful schemes being implemented before December 2008. 

During the last financial year we received 50 suggestions from our tenants and leaseholders. 25 of these suggestions were successful and are being funded from the Environmental Improvements Budget.
