• applications from council tenants in rent arrears will be rejected
• applicants must be over 18 years of age to apply and preference will be given to tenants of council homes
• once allocated a garage, the rent must be paid on time

The council own a number of garages across the borough which are available to rent.  Priority is given to applications received from council tenants, however, all residents of the borough are able to apply.

If you already rent a garage from the council, you are able to exchange with other garage tenants within the borough.  To do this, you will need to complete a new application form.
