Renting a council garage

We would like to inform residents that garage applications are currently closed and will remain unavailable until January 2026. This temporary suspension, including the discontinuation of the waiting list, is part of a comprehensive review and update of our policies, procedures, rental terms, and associated charges.

Further announcements regarding the reopening of applications and updated terms will be shared on this website as they become available.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transitional period.

Garage licence agreements

When we receive your application we will contact you. You must sign a licence agreement, and agree to the terms set out in the agreement.

• In accordance with the terms of your garage licence agreement, failure to pay rent will result in the following actions:

1. Issuance of Notice to Quit: A formal notice will be served to terminate your garage agreement.
2. Lock Replacement:  The garage locks will be changed to secure the property.
3. Item Disposal:   If you do not contact us, any items remaining in the garage will be deemed abandoned. We will arrange for their removal and disposal, and you will be liable for all associated costs.
4. Debt Recovery:  We will also take action to recover the debt from you.

Garage repairs

• Licensees must report issues promptly.
• If repairs are uneconomical, the council may reclaim the garage.

If you rent a garage from us and you want to report a repair, please see Report a Repair(Mears)
