Renting a Council Garage
Are you looking for somewhere to park your car or motorbike? We have a selection of garages vacant and available to rent throughout the Borough.
Who can apply?
You do not have to be a Council tenant to rent a garage, but Council tenants will be given priority.
How much does it cost?
The amount you will pay will depend on where the garage is located or if you are a Council tenant or not. Garage rents for 2025/26 - based on the garage location - are:
- £12.00 per week for Council tenants. For non-Council tenants, or if you rent more than one garage, VAT will be included at £2.40 per week = £14.40.
- £8.72 per week for Council tenants. For non-Council tenants, or if you rent more than one garage, VAT will be included at £1.74 per week =£10.46.
PLEASE NOTE: The offer of a garage tenancy is based on condition that the weekly charge is paid by Direct Debit.
