    Iknow they do give grants, where2, and available to everyone, tho they have been known to run out of funds at the end of the year, like now. My landlord brother has just received a £10,000 grant for various things but had to jump through the hoops.
    Ring them.

    Makes sense, where2, for the council to recover added value.
