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.
Council garage prices
The amount you pay depends on where the garage is located or if you are a Council tenant or not. Garage rents for 2026/27 - based on the garage location - are:
- £12.58 per week for Council tenants. For non-Council tenants, or if you rent more than one garage, VAT will be included at £2.52 per week = £15.10.
- £9.14 per week for Council tenants. For non-Council tenants, or if you rent more than one garage, VAT will be included at £1.83 per week =£10.97.
PLEASE NOTE: The offer of a garage tenancy is based on condition that the weekly charge is paid by Direct Debit.
