Garages

As well as letting houses and flats, we also deal with letting council garages.

There are around 1,000 garages owned by the council, mainly on our larger housing estates.

In some areas there are vacant garages which are ready to let immediately.

Garages are available to non-council tenants as well as to council tenants. However, council tenants are given priority on the waiting list.

Applying for a Garage

You can obtain an application form for a garage here.

Garage Tenancy Arrears

If you rent a garage tenancy from the Council and you are unable to meet your payments you could end up losing your garage tenancy.

If your account falls into arrears we will contact you and discuss with you any difficulties you may be having.

If your garage account falls into arrears and you do not make an arrangement to clear any outstanding arrears we may ask you to give up you garage. We will always discuss this with you first and serve a notice to quit giving you 7 days notice of any such intention.

Using the Garage

If you are allocated a garage it must only be used for the storage of a motor vehicle owned by you.  You may be risking your garage tenancy using a garage for any other purpose
