Renting a garage or parking space on a housing estate

The council has a number of parking spaces and garages available for renting on housing estates or housing blocks.   

Anybody can apply to rent these but applicants will need to meet certain criteria to be eligible to join the waiting lists.    

Priority for offering a tenancy is given to council tenants and leaseholders. Firstly, to those living on the estate or in the block.  

Full details on the application process, eligibility and allocation is available in the Garage and Parking Space Allocation Policy.

Please note that we cannot accept applications from council tenants or leaseholders in arrears of rent, service charges or major works charges.

Garages and parking spaces are let on a weekly tenancy for a weekly charge. This example Tenancy Agreement details the terms and conditions of the letting.
