Dear Sir,
The Council pays
an annual grant of £10,000.00 to the Derwentside Domestic Violence
Forum. The Forum comprises statutory and voluntary agencies, and its
services are available to all victims of domestic abuse, regardless
of sex, age or sexual orientation.
In addition, council
tenants are liable to pay for the cost of repairing damage to their
properties. These costs are waived where the damage is caused to the
property of a DV victim.
I trust that this
answers your query. If you need any further information,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
