We allocate garages on a first come first served basis. However, we give priority to our residents who have a Blue Badge. Once a garage becomes available, we will get in touch to confirm the pricing and to help with any questions you may have. 

You can use your garage to store a vehicle or your personal goods and furniture, but we ask that you don’t use it as a workshop. We do not allow you to store pets, people, commercial goods, perishable goods, illegal goods, un-taxed or un-roadworthy vehicles, flammable or explosive substances in the garage.

You may be responsible for repairs to your garage. Please check our Repairs Policy for a list of repairs you are responsible for. If we are responsible for a repair, you must let us know immediately.
