Rent a council garage

Garages waiting list temporarily closed

From 2 October 2023, due to high demand and a long waiting list for garages, we have temporarily closed the waiting list and are not accepting new applications. We apologise for any inconvenience, and will update this notice when the waiting list reopens. If we received an application from you before 2 October 2023, we will continue processing it and will contact you in due course.

Using your garage or garage plot

Garages are let out for the use of vehicles or personal storage use only.

You must not conduct trade or business from a council garage or garage plot – this is stated in your tenancy agreement.

We do not guarantee the condition of our garages. If you store any goods within a council-owned garage, you do so entirely at your own risk. We do not not accept any liability for loss or damage.

We recommend you buy contents insurance for any stored items. You may install additional locks at your own expense.

You must not:

  • store flammable materials, gas cylinders or chemicals
  • set up a supply for heat, power, light or energy without consent in writing
  • let anyone else use your garage
  • make any structural alterations to the garage

If you do not comply with the terms and conditions, we may end your rent agreement.
