Some tenant and resident groups have 'garden tool loan schemes'. Local people can borrow gardening equipment from the group, usually for a small weekly cost. Our warden service has a loan scheme too.
They have things like lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, spades and rakes. It means you can keep your garden tidy without having to buy expensive gear. The groups are:
Miles Platting & Ancoats NW Tool Loan Scheme
Suite 2B Imex Spaces
Wilsons Park
Monsall Road
Newton Heath
M40 8WN
0161 205 8922
Troydale TRA
Dolwen House
5 Dolwen Walk
Newton Heath
M40 2FR
0161 205 8922
If your group has a scheme, contact them to find out how to borrow the equipment. But if there isn't a scheme in your area, why not ask your local tenants' group to set one up? Your group will need to contact us to talk about how to pay for the equipment, what to buy and where to store it.
