A new furniture re-use scheme has been set up by Northampton Borough Council to help council tenants gain access to second-hand furniture when moving into a new home. The Furniture and Social Enterprise Scheme, gives tenants access to unwanted furniture that is in good enough condition to re-use that has been left behind by previous tenants.
The Borough Council and a local charity, Spencer Contact will inspect the furniture, and store it until we are ready to offer it to tenants in need.
Portfolio Holder for Housing, Councillor Christopher Malpas said: "The introduction of this re-use scheme is superb. To be able to offer furniture to council tenants who otherwise would have nothing when moving into their homes and reduce the need to dispose of unwanted furniture via landfill is fantastic.
