          The Board received a report from the Executive Director – Adults, which provided an update on performance relating to Minor and Major Adaptations funded through the Council’s Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

 

          A minor adaptations contract was in place for people in owner occupied or private rentals and work was undertaken by Upholland Property Services (UPS).  Major adaptations, which required a DFG, were managed through Halton’s Home Improvement Agency.

 

          A home adaptation was delivered in 4 key stages and during April 2024 to March 2025 the following works were completed:

 

Minor adaptations (by UPS)

          Members noted a number of challenges within the provision of minor and major adaptations and these were described in section 3.3 of the report.

 

RESOLVED: That the report is noted.
