Tenants in social housing are being given the chance to redecorate their homes with a free voucher scheme.
New residents on the council’s Lambeth Living estates will be able to claim up to £50 per room to spend in the DIY store B&Q from the end of this month.
The scheme will also be available to people whose homes need redecorating following accidental damage.
Chief executive Neil Litherland said: “This simple scheme will make a huge difference to tenants.”
